Polished transcript:

Male Female

I used to have a very difficult situation in my life. It happened last year when my dad sold our car. This was necessary because we had to change our interview location to another country. Last year, we won the green card lottery, the DV green card lottery. Our case number was really high, which meant we couldn't go to the USA with such a high case number. In Central Asia, they can't actually schedule interviews for cases with high numbers. So, we had to change our interview location to another country to go to the USA. We had a chance to change our interview location to Malaysia. It was very challenging because we used to have a car, and my dad sold it. My dad is a taxi driver, so the car was our only source of income. After my dad sold his car, our income started to decline significantly. It was a very tough situation for us. We were struggling financially, and it felt very bad. The whole experience was overwhelming, and we had to adapt to these changes while trying to maintain hope for our future in the USA.
