Annotation

It is stated that the chronotopes of success here and defect of success there (re)-built by non-resident Iranian (visa and Green Card) students are inspired by an extensive cultural chronotope which relates to their desire to stay (and ideal future) in the U.S. Migrants’ wants and fears can define migration chronotopes' topical dominance.
