B123456, N00123456789, H654321, ... I'm a badge number, I'm an application registration number, I'm a visa number - how multifaceted I can be! I haven't been aware of my multiple existences in the kosmos of codes before I started the visa application process. But about six and more numbers are quite modest, I forgot, there are many more, like the SSN (social security number) which is hopefully just needed if I wanted to get a bank account, so I think I'll withstand it.
Nevertheless, it was a great feeling to come to the US. Nearly nobody knew me and I could start a second life starting from anonymity.
That's what I thought and what I see.
But somewhere there's the CV of my application, the data of all my finger tips, the data of all my visits to the US, of my intentions during this internship... Of course there's a lot of information which has been collected since my birth. However, I have never faced a so uncovered contrast of this "nice-new-world-feeling" to "we-exactly-know-who-and-how-you-are-observation" .
