The reason: "It is undesirable for you to join your husband in the United States." Sonia had been an architect. but lost her job upon her first application to emmigrate. Michael was able to stay in Moscow for almost 3 years. first as a nanny for a family in the American Embassy and then as an administrative assistant at the New Zealand Embassy. When. on May 10. 1986. he had to travel to America for family reasons. his visa was considered expired. and he was not allowed to return. Sonia and six other Soviet citizens who are married to Americans recently sent a letter to 100 Soviet organizations. including newspapers. magazines. and Government agencies. The letter concluded with their fervent request: "You who read this letter will go home tonight. you will.kiss your husband or wife. you will play with your children and sit down to supper in the circle of your family. Think about us and do everything in your power to help us." Sonia will reapply to emigrate in September 1986. I implore the Soviet authorities to allow Sonia to join her husband in California without further delay.e
