That large employer employed a Taiwanese gentleman as a systems analyst. He has been doing his job. and he and his wife are in the process of becoming U.S. citizens. But it became necessary earlier this year for them to renew their visa. They tried to do it in Washington. but were refused help. I suggested they go to Canada to get their visa renewed through our Embassy in Ottawa. The Embassy there said they were too busy to handle the request. These people were forced. and the lady was pregnant. about to deliver. but they were forced to fly back to Taipei to renew their visa. It took them a week away from their job with the expense of flying back to Taiwan to get their visa renewed. I think the State Department of ours needs to be addressing problems like this. They were legal in this country. and they were working on a work visa. I think they should have been assisted. So I think the Institute in Taiwan is doing as good a job as they can. but they are getting very little help from the State Department.
