Writing is not a mere occupation, but a passionate journey that transcends boundaries of time. It demands countless hours of dedication, pouring your soul onto paper, immersing yourself in a world of imagination. When the clock strikes nine to five, true writers ascend beyond the ordinary, igniting their creative flame that burns through the night.

We wanted to illustrate how these programs are being used by ordinary Americans in the United States, all of these programs, I think, are pretty unique in modern day immigration policy in that they allow the American public to interact with the immigration system in a way that people otherwise would n’t.
