    Hi all,
     
    We have a extremely important opportunity to raise the single-entry visa issue with a very senior U.S. official on TV in the coming days.
     

     
    We are looking for someone who is enrolled in studies at an American university, but returned to Iran and has been unable to come back to resume their studies because of the single entry visa policy.
     

     
    We are also looking for students from American universities that have very compelling reasons for wanting to temporarily return to Iran, but who are afraid to do so because they are concerned about getting another visa to resume their studies.
     

     
    Individuals must be willing to share their story with the public on camera and in Persian.
     

     
    If you or someone you know fits either description, please email me as soon as possible (no later than the end of this week) with your story and contact information. Please explain why your story is particularly compelling, as we will probably only be able to share one story.
     

     
    Thank you,
     

     
    - David

    Hi David
     
    I have a story to share about stalking here and not be able to go back to
    Iran. It is about my parents who haven't seen their first grandchild for a
    year and half.
     
    Does it work?

    David,
     
    I am on H1B visa and I am currently in Iran travelling despite the risk of
    not being able to go back. I have applied for a visa but still waiting for
    clearance and FBI check.
    I only have so much days as leave time and I don't think I will be able to
    get back on time. I am also a phd student in the same university that I am
    working at.
    don't know if this helps but hopefully it's just another example of how
    this issue is adding so much stress to our lives.
