My old company did his website design. He is good friend with the owner of my former company (and he (the owner)) supports Mr. Radanovich financially. Since you were in politics, I thought that this little extra info would be interesting for you. " No need to mention you aren’t a citizen in your letter" hehe.. sneaky :) They probably remember still my name though, but I got the idea. Actually pointing out my case, which they already know about, is just another good reason why he should support this. Its not the same thing from a technical point of view, but the consequences are the same and people tend not to care about the technical details that got them pain and misery. You have to leave the country, in a very short period of time, with no idea if you can ever go back to your new home and new friends. Maybe as a tourist after a while, if they let you in, which is depending on the "technical details" of your specific case and time-frames, not a sure thing. Specifically when you want to visit the U.S. as tourist. That is the time since the day you had to leave. Well, you can see that I spent some time thinking about such things. :( Hi Lee,

Another thing that makes sense is to let foreign-born workers to contiue to live and work here when they were living and working in the country for 5 or 6 years already and they reached the maximum lifetime of their work visa (L1 = 5 years, H1 = 6 years). They should be able to change companies or start their own business (get the greencard pretty much automatically, if there are no other reasons why they should not get one (criminal record etc.)) This makes perfect sense.

Worst case is that you write a letter and you tie up the staffer who has to draft a response to you. I think your representative will be George Radanovich or Jim Costa. Visit this link: <a href="https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml</a> to find out. No need to mention you aren't a citizen in your letter... You are a constituent and they are supposed to care for you too!

I cannot vote because I am not a U.S. citizen. My stamp does not mean anything and I do not represent a vote that could be lost (although I could make other people change their vote, but many folks do not think that far hehe) and I have a Conflict of Interest (= extreme bias). I have the name and address, phone number etc. of "my" local congressman. I contacted him in 2005 to ask for help in my case, when I had to leave the country involuntarily for several weeks. He wasn't much of a help though. What do you think? Is that my representative? I cannot vote because I am not a U.S. citizen.
