Subject: Assistance for Employment Author: Shabbir Ahmed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:34:29 08/14/04 Sat I am a parent of a 4 year old, child Shahzeb Ahmed suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) since February of this year. This is a child who is a US citizen by birth. Rest of our family that includes my wife and a ten year old daughter are non – US citizens and have Indian citizenship. We brought Shahzeb to US on February 26, 2004 after he was diagnosed with ALL in India. He is currently under the care of the Oncology group at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, PA. As per his physicians Shahzeb will require a long – term treatment and follow up. As we all know that US has the best Healthcare in the world and that is the reason we have decided to get Shahzeb treated here in US. Besides, due to the high risk of infection in traveling and staying in India we would stay here in US so that he gets the best care possible in a friendly environment. We are currently staying with wife’s brother and his family. It is becoming increasingly difficult to cope up with the financial and emotional stress that comes with thism kind of situation. Needless to say that we will need to support ourselves and become independent. Unfortunately, because we are on visitor’s visa, we do not have authorization to work or a work permit. I have been trying to contact the employers and apply for jobs that fits my skills, but have been unsuccessful till now. Normally the US Immigration requires that the individual has a sponsorship from an employer in US in order for them to grant a work permit. I am therefore, writing this to explore the possibilities of getting some assistance to find an employer or a position within an organization that can utilize my skills so that I can provide support and independence to my family in this difficult situation.
