OhioMT, as you sound so afraid and not confident. So, you've been doing this 1 year 3 months, something like that? Round up!! Put 2 years on your applications - I am 100% against lying, but come on, here. Sounds like you've all been given the royal shaft. I would calmly just round up to 2 years on your applications - what have you got to lose? And it sure sounds like no one is gonna be giving detailed references or verifications, so use that to your advantage. Take a positive where you can get it. Know what I mean? Praying for ya. Hope you don't mind.
