Ok, as someone who is waiting for his Green Card, the story of the treatment allegedly received by Hiu Lui Ng frightens me. [BoingBoing link here. NY Times here ]
My Green Card has been in process for more than three years. We are supposedly approaching the end of the long road. But how do I [...]
I just remembered something this morning. Starting October 7, 2006, I will be officially a man without a Visa. My final H1-B renewal expires on October 6, 2006, and although they have applied for an extension, and I am at some indeterminate point supposed to get a Green Card, I will be of no status [...]

16 Mar 2005Jeremy Wright of Ensight, and other fine blogging sites, had a nightmare run-in with the Department of Homeland Security at a border crossing.
