a letter for hope

   MR. Obama or whom ever may be reading this letter:

   My name is Ramin Ansari a resident of Southern California for near 27 years. I am writing to find a way in rectifying my immigration situation and a possible hope for an immigration pardon in some way. Perhaps a miracle if you will cause i have ran out of options.

   I am an Iranian who has lived in the states since 1985. I was sent here at the age of 14 due to the war between Iran and Iraq. I believe that the decision of sending me here was that of a righteous act. In fact the best decision for a parent in saving their child life. At the time as you know many Iranians did so to save their loved ones from both death and a oppressive regime for hopes of a better future.

   I have had many hopes over the years, however now at the age of 41 have learned to be humble to what ever blessing come my way. Its been a rocky 27 years and i have tried many options and failed due to lack of residency and many other hindering obstacles. However through out this time i never lost hope in trying to clear my residency status.

    For the most part i have lived a peace full life. I have placed my self in many educational programs,been to high school (north holly wood high), colleges( west los angeles and valley college) in hopes for a higher education and understanding, helped to run few business, established some and lost few. Including my own with down fall of the economy.

     All said and done, life has been interesting in showing me many roads and i am thankful. Nonetheless, now i find myself allot older and time seams to be getting the best of me and my patience in hopes for waiting on a residency clearance and may be a citizen some day.

    I could say that i have lost many battles in my life and i am not alone."Man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble" (Job 14:1)  I have seen many people in worse shape than i and that of which i could even inure. Perhaps the good lord has loved me till this day and i find myself in his mercy. He must be watching over me because I cant say that in  27 years of turbulence and few tragedy i have been completely alone and have made it this far.For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind/'//'/ (2Timothy 1:7). And when i am over whelmed by situations i find the bible to be most soothing and my refuge. Finding peace has taken me many palaces and i have found it most restful with Christ.

    Without writing all my life and its ordeals including financing issues which have been the most troublesome due to both the economy and  immigration set backs, i am humbly asking you to help me overcome this issue. I have worked here since the age of 15 and paid many years of taxes which will all  go in vain if i am deemed deported and in limbo. furthermore the land and the people i have come to love over the years have left a profound effect in my life. it would be very difficult to think of my experience to have become the bane of my physical and spiritual existence rather the glory of a promised land in which of have work, studied, struggled, learned and grew up in since a teenager and now a 41 year old man. 

   if there is a way at all possible for my wish to come true please respond back to me and help me creat a much more hopeful future. I have dreams of going to to school and getting a degree in economics. A path to citizenship or a green card could be a best gift i could ever hope for. if you see a hope or a possiblity please respod back with hope. God bless you and all your loved ones.
