Dear Editor:
Here's my immigration sob story. The good news is that I'm now an
official, lawful permanent resident. My wife, an immigration attorney, (and
beautiful woman), meticulously completed all the forms and interviews with
me, joking that I could fire her if she fell short, and that not all alien
spouses are females! Back home, (U.K.), I had a good job, friends and
family. At University, I was first in my class in Computer Science. I had
worked for major corporations, in the U.S. too. I moved to the U.S. (with
visa), and not unlike many foreign doctors driving cabs, I found myself,
unable to obtain a position in my field, software development.
Demoralised after many months, after receiving hundreds of rejections, virtually no
interview, and no position at all, not waiting tables, not working as a
shop clerk, I am nearly going "mad!" (The unemployment figures and unemployment
compensation stats. do not include me). So far, this is not the American
Dream, it is the American Nightmare.
Mr. Smith
