Having all my documents ready in advance helped a lot.”

For parents new to the process, hearing real-life experiences can provide reassurance. Another parent, Meena Gupta, shares her challenge of missing the first deadline and how she had to wait for the second draw. “I learned the hard way that keeping track of deadlines is crucial.
