So, to update everyone, I got a lawyer and everything suddenly moved much quicker! Today I went with him to the police station and signed some forms saying I would show up in court next week and they gave me my passport back 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

My lawyer said he is 99% certain he can get me in court on Monday which hopefully means I will be going home on Tuesday! I will keep everyone updated but this was a huge step and I am so relieved.
