@SenatorLeahy @USCIS Thanks Senator. As a legal immigrant who came here on a dependent visa, the H4 work permit was my channel to contribute to the US economy. Already equipped with a STEM undergrad degree, I went on to pursue an MBA at BU and graduated this yr with a job..CONT
@SenatorLeahy @USCIS As luck would have it, my permit went for a renewal this year. I wasn't too worried, up until recently, when #USCIS decided to systemically delay all renewals. I had to forcefully quit my job 2 weeks ago, and resort back to my shackles..
@SenatorLeahy @USCIS Not many understand the plight of legal immigrants qnd only treat them as objects, often forgetting that these are REAL lives with the same ambitions as anyone else..your letter just made me feel good, for once. Thanks
@SenatorLeahy @USCIS I may have digressed a lil, all i wanted to say is that uscis is already operating on skeletal budget right now, as a result, delaying work permit renewals/printing EAD cards. I don't even want to imagine a situation where they'd furlough several employees.
