‘‘I heard that they hate, HATE the typical immigration story – how one has had to adjust to the language, culture, and how he/she are now proud to have knowledge of two different cultures, blah blah blah.’’

Hmm. I am an international applicant, but I lived for one year in the US as a child. It was nothing like adjusting to the new culture/becoming patriotic/experiencing typical struggles, but I have very unusual stuff to tell on it. What would be considered a no-no then?
