Actual Story

A family that was born in their country, married couple with four kids, decided to come to America. The parents thought they could live a better life and support their family in the best way possible. Throughout the years while the kids were growing up was when, the oldest started feeling the pressure. Applying for colleges was hard, getting certain jobs were even harder. The family applied for getting their LPR but this process is very long and looked through, therefore, there was not enough time to change the oldest child’s mind. The oldest went back to the country they came from. Going on through hard times without their son/brother, the family eventually started getting together again and going strong. The one thing that messed them up was their status. Now this family came with a B-1 Tourist Visa and was here to tour for six months but stayed the rest of their lives and started dealing with the difficulties. After September 11, immigration got worse and harder to get through so the family was stuck with obstacles that were not near easy. Eventually the two that were oldest got married and received their LPR through marriage. There is one left struggling to get through everything that the siblings went through. Things are very different now and everything gets harder and harder. The longer the wait the harder the fall.
This family has gone through most things in the list. They are all taxpayers, do not get any financial help from the government and are still waiting to get that call back for the Legal Permanent Residency. The most one can do is sit and wait. Dealing with the government is no joke, disagreeing with them alone could affect delays in answers, appointments, and even loss of records. Just as it is not hard to trust immigrants, it is even harder to trust the people with the power.
