Mr. President. after careful deliberation. Juan Macias and his family made a decision to immigrate to the United States of America from their native Bolivia. They met with staff at the U.S. Consulate in La Paz to discuss the best method for immigrating. Upon the advice of the staff there. they decided to apply for investors visas and Mrs. Maclas traveled to the United States where she invested the required $40.000 by purchasing Daisys Beauty Salon in Alamogordo. NM. When Mrs. Macias returned to Bolivia with the appropriate documentation. the family was told that a mistake had been made and that they could not be issued Investors visas at that time. Consequently. they were issued visitor nonimmigrant visas and were told that they would be notified as soon as their investors visas were approved. In August 1978 the family moved to New Mexico. Since that time they have dutifully renewed their visas and continually sought to change their status. Through a series of technical and circumstantial difficulties. that status has never been granted. In the 6/2 years that the Macias family has lived in Alamogordo. they have earned the respect and love of the members of that small community.
