Victor and Andreas is tragic. Victor is 45 years old and has a doctoral degree in physical chemistry. When he first applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union in 1971 he had an excellent job as a research scientist. But. as soon as he applied to emigrate. he lost his job and was denied permission to emigrate on the grounds of secrecy. Because of his desire to emigrate. Victor has been unable to get a scientific job. and he has been working as an engineer on ventilation projects. Andrea and Victor have been married for nearly 2 years. but the Soviets keep them needlessly separated. Since they were married. Andrea has been able to see her husband only a handful of times. Despite the fact that Victor has not had access to any secret information since he was fired from his job in 1971. the Soviets continue to deny him permission to emigrate on the grounds of "possession of state secrets." Andrea has been told countless times that her husbands case is under review. Reviewing the case of Victor Faermark is not enough. Victor and Andrea should be able to live together in the United States.
