Dear Andy:

Reads to me that the right thing for you to do is to complete those six tenths of your graduation program in the U.S., and to complete your immigration process to the U.S., proceeding with a CS career in the U.S.

Because you don’t feel  comfortable expressing your anxiety and conflict to your parents/ family, see to it that once you are back in the U.S., that you seek the help of the counseling department in your university, any counseling and emotional support available there or through them (referral to community help,  individual or group therapy, support groups for students).

You have always been a good student you wrote, excelling as a student. Clearly, you need more emotional support to maintain that excellent performing. We are more than intellectual beings; even the most intelligent, the most capable student in the world, needs emotional support.

I hope to read from you again.
