About: the history

It was a dream come true when I got approved for the Morrison Visa. And here I am some 35 years later, with 2 kids and 3 grandchildren. One thing we were taught growing up in Ireland was work hard and life will be what you make it. I spent 30 years in NY before moving to Florida and then to South Carolina. So thank you, Bruce, I wish other young people can have the same opportunity and experience I had with so many others. You certainly made my dream come true.

Thank you, Bruce for making it possible for myself and my family to reside and work in the U.S. It's been quite a ride and I have met fabulous folks along the way.

Thank you Bruce for the huge opportunity that the Morrison Visa Program offered me and my partner. We both travelled and worked as postdoctoral research scientists at Baylor College and University of Texas, Medical Center, Houston. The experience of travelling and working in the US was invaluable to our academic training and future work in Irish Universities on our return in the late 1990’s. We maintained many personal and professional connections with the great people we met in Houston.

Many thanks for the the visa and what it gave me. I used it to live and work in the US for a few years in the 90's when I was a newly graduated engineer trying to figure out where I went next. It was a truly transformative experience to me and has left me with a gratitude for what the US gave me that I will carry with me for the rest of my days.

I just wanted to thank you for the life-changing opportunity you gave in as I was a recipient of your Visa in 1993. I moved to San Francisco that year and enjoyed great success both professionally and privately. I recently returned to live in Europe with my irish wife who had also received the same visa in 1994.

So happy to have got visa and subsequently American citizenship.

Thank you so much for sponsoring the Visa program. I certainly benefited by it, and the green card paved the career path I subsequently pursued. Many thanks indeed.

This visa literally changed my life. I started applying when it first came out, I remember sending letter after letter, that was the process at the time, and finally getting the visa in 1994. I clearly remember the embassy interview, the planning, leaving home and starting out at the time in Boston. I've been in the US over thirty years now, with a family of my own, and remain truly grateful for the opportunity I had to embark on a new life, and remain connected too to my home.
