Nearly a decade under the scholar Ahmad Al American territory and had left its borders since 2006 in a like constraint. Ahmed remained all these years carrying a bag on his shoulders for a Bachelor's programme in information systems, master in information security and business intelligence.

During these years the weal and woe with couldn't see and embrace his parents or siblings, the reason that the first step where Ahmed will leave the u.s. immigration service in ports, there is no guarantee his return again. Which means that it cannot complete its study and turned his lean years tuition-free academic certificate or even a tale of pride and accomplishment of his parents and his wife.

In the middle of the last decade, with the first pioneers King Abdullah scholarship program outside the us authorities put the visa difficult standards for students, it was a one year only and lucky them gets two and is barely enough time to finish the program language.


Ahmed says, describing that point "arrived to the United States in 2006, and the student visa in those days difficult. There is no book appointments via the us Embassy, as it is now, you are forced to send appointment request via fax to me and the rest of my colleagues by a fax at home. And I send more than once a day, for several days in a row. After many attempts, Pattani and colleagues call the Embassy expected date interview. Half received the approval of the visa, while classmates refused to study visa ".

Tells Ahmed that the hardest moments are when conducting fellow travelers to the airport but the position of parents forced break expatriate tasia. He was initially the inductive position back to visit, and after that a number of my relatives did not get renewed study permit, and they heard of stories who have faced difficulties and refused to renew the visa, they advise me to rethink the visit and tell me we will not force anyone to return, but do not wish to see you at your relatives and colleagues who have decided some parts of the school or their careers lost classroom hours when moving to another State more than a year and a half.
