Daisy immigrated to the United States from India. She is now 58 years old and has been in the country for over 28 years. Here, she talks about the challenges of being an immigrant in the United States:
Oh, the [immigration] process was long, 6 months to one year. It was very tough. We were just coming here. I was not comfortable here. I had no one here then. I came thinking I know everything I need to have success. But no. I had an interview. They responded after a while. It was very hard though, you know, Indian way of life and American, very different, very hard to adapt. But because I was professional, I had to do many other things. Apply for permit, get it, take state board, take test after test. It was very difficult.”
