My Greatest RegretsWhen I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.
I was too scared of the French girls to go.
What do you regret not doing?

2 major ones right now.I regret not filing for my green card before I went back to England for a couple of funerals last year. I had my interview last Thursday, and on Friday (while trying to get work authorization) I was verbally told by a Citizenship and Immigration officer that I don't need it as my green card is being approved. He had apparently just spoken with the officer who interviewed my husband and I and he said he was going to approve it.
I then proceeded to tell everyone. I regret not keeping my mouth shut.
Today, I found out I am inadmissible to apply for a green card due to leaving and coming back last year (it triggered an automatic 10-year ban).
I can apply for a waiver, if not approved I'll be deported within a couple of months.
