Answer 1

i don't know if the embassy would help??? not sure and I am sure they will not tell u if ur wanted or anything. I would not take the risk and leave an not being able to come back. Don't u have relatives there who can take care of ur grandma?? my opinion , ur mom should forget her past and focus on her future.
