(Under the inspiration of the spirit of Martin Luther King, I wrote the poem.)
I have a dream.
I dreamed that after 8 years of hardworking and legal staying in this country I got my green card approved.
I dreamed that whenever a recruiter called me and asked my working status,
I could tell him that I don't need a visa sponsorship.
I dreamed that I should have known I need 8+ years to get my green card, I should have known it 8 years ago,
when I was still young,
when I was able to move freely to another country without worrying about the family root nowadays.
I have a dream.
I dreamed I could work like other American workers, not like a slave.
I dreamed I could leave my employer when I have a better opportunity instead of for 8 years' worrying that my employer can suspend or delay my green card application.
I dreamed I could be promoted instead of working on the same position and salary for 8 years just for that green card.
I dreamed that I don't have to worry everyday in 8 years that if I'm unemployed, I have to leave this country and kiss my green card application goodbye.
I have a dream.
I dreamed there are never such cruel things called Backlog Elimination Center.
I dreamed Ms. Elaine Zhao as a daughter of an Immigrant family knew how hard it is to work and live legally in this country without a green card.
I dreamed some people working in DOL could appreciate other people's life because 8 years for a family is definitely an important portion of whole life.
I dreamed that 8 years of hard working can convince DOL that there is no other American worker can fit the job I am working on, hence they will issue me a labor certificate as the first step in my green card application.
I have a dream.
I dreamed that legal employment based immigrants don't have to stick to the same job position and same company for 8 years before they can get their green card.
I have a dream.
I dreamed that I could have the courage of Martin Luther King to speak out our issues and let everybody in this country know the issues.
I dreamed that the people of this country could feel our pain and respect our hard working and services for this country for so many years.
