Albert Tucker PhD+FollowI pay $40k in taxes a year, but I can't travel to see my dying grandmother. The system is broken.I’m on an H1B visa. I work in tech. I contribute to the economy. My Green Card application has been "pending" for years. Because of a processing delay with my travel document (Advance Parole), I am stuck inside the US. My grandmother is in the hospital back home. If I leave to say goodbye, I can't come back to my job, my house, and my life here. We talk so much about the border, but nobody talks about the legal immigrants trapped in administrative hell. We are prisoners of paperwork. Anyone else stuck in the "Green Card Backlog" black hole? #GreenCardBacklog #H1B #LegalImmigration #USCIS #TechWorkers #FamilySeparation21Share
