 SEVEN FUCKING YEARS I WAS LOCKED IN THE US ! UNBELIEVABLE! NOW I CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF 🌎 AND MEET WITH FRIENDS AND FAM 
 epic! 
 How locked?  
 I came as a student in 2016 visa expired! Tried to get work visa and failed! Then I was just keeping my legal status and work authorization through the college switching every year back and forth and now I got travel authorization based on temporary protected status that allows me to go outside the country and come back 
 So you're living in annopen prison, left and planning to go back again? Why? 
 Well, now I’m not in the prison! I can travel and explore the world. If I will not like the places I visited I will always will have a chance to come back here 
 I mean, not always. My next steps will be to try to change my visa status to investment one if I will launch business here but I’m not sure. Pure pleb 😂 
 *poor 
 Good luck fren 🤙💜

 Sounds like you got fucked by bureaucracy, enjoy your new freedom  
 Good question 🤔 
 Fuck that! Congrats, man. Fucking bureaucracy…

Just dont visit that one country 
 yes. I know that feeling...!

 You can travel? 
 7 years?? Wow. Enjoy your new trips!! 

As someone who’s been a victim of it, I hate the US immigration system 🙃 
 Congrats brother. Very happy for you. 
 I am putting some ducks in a row to maybe get out of the U.S. in the next few myself. Are you trying to bounce around or do you have a new “home” in mind? 
 Never mind I read your other comment 
 getting stuck in America is way better than getting stuck in canada 
 Yes, 7 years! I could make a fake marriage(pay to someone) or do the political asylum case but I’m not such a person! I do have my own principles!
