Which Form 8854 Expat 2023-2024

This is Mazen and his family. Originally, they are from Saddam Madison. Mazen's parents immigrated to country X because of his father's job. Mazen and his brother were born and raised there. Every summer, Mazen and his family get excited to travel back to Sudan and meet their family again. But once they remember what's waiting for them, you know, so what happens when they go to Sudan? In Sudan, they're not called citizens, but expatriates. Yep, in their homeland, all sufferings follow this, especially their father. They have to pay high taxes and deal with bureaucratic paperwork. Applying to university is a nightmare, as their excellent grades do not matter and their tuitions are multiplied. Living in country X, Mazen made friends from different countries who speak different languages. Thus, the Sudanese locals mock him and make jokes about expatriates. Being an expatriate is like being a secret agent. No one knows, because once their identities are revealed, they'll be viewed as outsiders. All prices suddenly increase, and they have to pay for anything and everything without complaints. If they do complain, they will hear the typical sentence in Sudan, "Your space raises your wallet." When Mazen first heard this, he was shocked because he knows very well what his parents went through while being expatriates. They had to live away from their families, miss important events, and go through hard times alone. But they had to be strong for the sake of their children. And when they finally go back to the only place they can call home, they still face discrimination. Music.
