He has a US girlfriend and plans to marry after he becomes a citizen. He could easily marry and be one overnight.
Georgia has recently passed laws that will effect him. He will lose his drivers license as soon as they expire and when his work pass expires could be deported. It is ashame that someone who works as hard as he does and is a positive member of society faces these issues. He hasn't said but I am sure he will finally get married to stay here.
His employers have written letters to congressman and he still waits.
He also has a brother that owns a local garage and is a top notch mechanic that faces the same problem. The Nissan Dealership here in town farms out the cars they can't get to to his brother. Wow, isn't our government wonderful sometimes. If my friend could dunk a basketball, was over 7ft tall and was from China he might have a better chance.

This is the problem. Bush and Congress want to reward those who broke our laws with amnesty and citizenship while those who follow the legal process are forced to go through every tedious step.
