As it should be. Too many people staying here under false pretenses. Immigration is just doing their job

I think without the additional workers, it’ll be hard for you to get the WP. That being said, I know plenty of foreigners who run restaurants here and many don’t have Work permits, not saying it’s necessarily advisable, but at least you have the long term visa..

In theory there are folks who have been here for two plus years on Covid extensions. Those folks who have legit visas and have to continue showing the prerequisite paperwork and finances to keep their visas must feel like that system is a tad bit unfair. I know I would..

Yes

No, you just need a company that will hire you, or with the right capital you ca. start one yourself

@Stephen ******

nothing about this situation is “easy”

@Joseph ********

you are projecting your own experiences on him …yes, you like Thailand and maybe have chosen to live there. This individual however has lived in the US his whole life and this is a case of him being sent back to a place he doesn’t know at all and against his will..I don’t think there is any “luck” in this situation…

All these people writing things like "Oh, he's Thai, he's gonna love it, worse places to be deported to" kind of miss the point. He has lived in the US his whole life and it even says he knows "Nothing about Thailand"..this is not something that is an "oh well, he'll be fine" kind of deal, it's a serious disruption of his life and probably something that is causing him a great deal of stress and anxiety at the moment

that was my situation

Good luck, it’s a hell of a process
