00:13 You present us with a challenge and it makes us both happy.
00:16 Not immigration.
00:17 We have been approved for green cards since 2010.
00:21 We are in backlog.
00:22 People come in with their bright ideas, but they are forced to work for somebody else.
00:29 Corporates don't want the green cards to happen so that people like me can start my own company.
00:35 Without the H1B, the scientific establishment of this country would collapse.

01:20 I think what we go through is absolutely erasable.
01:23 We have received hate.
01:24 Kuchibhotla, an Indian-born engineer, was shot and killed.
01:28 The gunman allegedly opened fire yelling, "Get out of my country."
01:32 From Maharashtra to Ayodhya, we don't know.
01:36 Do I not serve this country? Am I not one of you?
01:40 It's frustrating.
01:42 They went through a lot in order to not have me go through what they had to go through.
01:47 This country doesn't want us, clearly. We can't keep limiting our dreams.
01:52 Now that things are getting closer to the time that I turn 21, everything is starting to feel really real.
01:59 My whole… it's dying every day.
02:02 every day.
