What an incredible day we had celebrating 33 years of Uzbekistan’s independence together! The Uzbek American Association of Chicago was thrilled to bring our community together on August 31st for a day full of joy, laughter, and tradition. We kicked things off with an amazing car parade that filled the streets with Uzbek pride! Seeing everyone come together, waving flags and honking in celebration, was truly special. A big shoutout to our local favorites— @Milliyfamilyrestaurant ,Chinar,@shahirizada_restaurant, Lazzat Chicago and @ @grillexpress_chicago —for filling our tables with the tastiest Uzbek dishes! You guys made it a true feast. And we can’t forget our awesome photographer Alena Toropov, who captured all the fun and festive moments perfectly! Thanks for helping us keep these memories alive. A special thank you to @arezoo_raqs for the national dance that added even more vibrancy to our celebration. To everyone who joined us: Thank you! Let’s keep celebrating our beautiful culture and supporting each other. We can’t wait for the next one!

“On October 21, 2023, the Chicago Uzbek-American Association organized a holiday event titled “Ona tilim-jonu dilim” near Chicago. This celebration commemorated the 34th anniversary of the Uzbek language being granted the status of a state language. Compatriots from Chicago, neighboring areas, and adjacent states joined in the festivities. Students from the Uzbek school showcased their linguistic talents by reciting poems and singing songs in Uzbek. Through this, the children demonstrated their proficiency in both their ancestral language and English.”

Akamizzi joylari jannati bo’lsin. Ularning oila a’zolariga sarb tilaymiz.  Ulug’bek aka AQShga ikki yil oldin kelib, yaxshi niyyatlar bilan yuk mashinasi haydovchisi (truck driver) sifatida ish boshlagan edilar. Qisqa vaqt ichida juda ham ko’plab do’st va birodarlar ortdirdilar. Turmush o’rtoqlari va bir qizchalari bilan Illinois shtatining Palatine shaharchasida yashayotgan edilar.   Mayyitni o’z ona yurtlari O’zbekistonga yuborish uchun oila a’zolarini imkoniyati bo’lmaganligi bois, sizning yordamingiz juda ham zarur. Alloh yo’lida savob uchun o’z ko’nglingizdan chiqarib mablag’ yig’ishga yordamingizni ayamaysiz deb umid qilamiz. Har qanday hayr-ehson uchun juda ham minnatdormiz.

Olloh rozi bo’lsin!  Hurmat bilan,  UAAC Kengash A’zolari Dear Compatriots who currently reside in the United States of America:  We are saddaned by the sudden death of Mr. Ulugbek Nazarov (born in 1966). He died on December 4th, 2019 and the cause of his death is under investigation. We express our condolences to his relatives and wish them lots of patience.  Ulugbek Nazarov immigrated to the USA two years ago to find his own American dream. He recently started working as a truck driver. In a relatively short period of time, he managed to have many friends in the Chicagoland. He lived with his wife and daughtet in Palatine, IL.  We are fundrasing to afford the costs of transporting the body of our deceased brother to his native country – Uzbekistan. We are asking for any donations possible to help with the cost of the transportation arrangements. Please help where you can: we are extremely grateful for any donations –  big or small. If you cannot donate, then we ask that you pray for his soul. May Allah accept your prayers,  In shaa Allah. “Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.” Holy Quran 2:156 Please share this post via social media with other compatriots.  UAAC Board Members I found Below Copy from one of the Janaza Funerals. Please take a look.  In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. No one besides Allah can rescue a soul from hardship- Holy Quran 53:58 We are fundraising to afford the costs of a funeral for Ryan Alexander Gregory. A loving husband, brother & dear friend whom we sadly lost to sickle cell anemia (SCA) at the young age of 29 on 10th September 2019. Growing up in foster homes, Ryan lost touch with his parents and was separated from all his siblings at a very young age. At the age of 18 he had to learn to support and fend for himself and his friends soon became his family. We are those friends who watched him grow from a teenager to an adult man and together we are pulling the few resources we have to give our dear Ryan the sendoff he truly deserves. We love and miss him very much. Ryan battled with SCA his entire life having to experience unpredictable and periodic episodes of unbelievable pain called crises. During a crises the pain was that unbearable for Ryan that was unable to speak, and it was clear to see how physically and emotionally tired he became over the years as most of his life was spent in and out of hospitals. He was an intelligent individual with so much potential and yet SCA prevented him from living the normal life he very much desired and deserved. And yet he was the epitome of humble, never letting this get the better of him. He put on the bravest smile every day and even whilst in pain he would make jokes or find a way to laugh and lighten the mood. He was a selfless and positive individual who never complained and was always grateful to Allah SWT for the simple things in life. And so we are asking for any donations possible to help with the cost of burial arrangements to support his family during this vulnerable and sad time.  Any surplus money will go towards charity on his behalf and also to support his partner.  Please help where you can, we are extremely grateful for any donations big or small. If you cannot donate then we ask that you pray for his soul. May Allah accept your prayers In shaa Allah. “Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.” Holy Quran 2:156 Please share this post. Thank you

UAAC Prezidenti Olim Sharipov o’zining Mening Amerika daftarim kitobini nashrdan chiqardi. Kitob Amerika hayotiga oid xajviyalar, turli shaxslar bilan suhbatlar va Olim Sharipovning turli yillarda yozgan she’rlaridan iborat. Kitobni elektron versiyasini quyida bepul yuklab olishingiz mumkin.

Buyuk adibimiz Abdulla Oripov “sehrli diyor” deya ta’riflagan Amerikada doimiy yashash, ishlash imkoniyatini beradigan “Green card” lotereyasi natijalari e’lon qilinishiga ham sanoqli kunlar qoldi. Biz ham bir yil avval aynan shu dastur doirasida kelib, shu yerda hayotimizni davom ettirmoqdamiz. Boshimizdan o’tgan voqealar bilan boshqa biz singar kelganlar ham to’qnash kelishi mumkinligini hisobga olib, tajribalarimiz bilan o’rtoqlashishni ma’qul ko’rdik.  “Green card” ni qanday yutdik, qanday o’ziga xos sirlari bor? Xalqimiz orasida “Green card” lotereya deyilgani bilan “maxsus tashkilotlar” tomonidan odamlar yaxshilab o’rganilib saralanadi, ular buni yaxshi kadrlarni o’ziga yig’ib olish uchun joriy qilishgan degan gaplar ham yuradi. Buning rost yoki yolg’onligi haqida bir qat’iy fikr aytish qiyin. Shunisi aniqki, bizga lotereya chiqishi shunchaki tasodif bo’ldi. Hozir ham ayolim bilan, lotereya arizasini to’ldirish uchun bir-birimizni telefonda devorning oq fonida sur’atga olganimizni kulgu bilan eslaymiz. Hech qanday biror firma yoki agentlik xizmatidan foydalanmadik: lotereya arizasini to’ldirishdan to Amerikaga kelgungacha.     Ko’pchilik so’rashadi: “qaysi agentlik hujjatlaringni tayyorladi? Qayerda o’ynasak yutamiz?” Biror agentlik xizmatidan foydalanish yoki foydalanmaslik har bir shaxsning shaxsiy tanlovi, kimlar uchundir o’zi o’rganib chiqish-hujjatlarni tayyorlash qiyindek tuyulsa, boshqalarga bunday agentliklar qo’l kelishi mumkin. Biladiganimiz shuki, hech qaysi agentlik hech qanday kafolat bermaydi va bunday tashkilotlarning hech qaysi AQSh elchixonasi yoki AQShning Fuqarolik va Immigratsiya xizmati(USCIS) bilan rasmiy aloqaga ega emas.      Samarqandliklar ko’p yutadi, Samarqandga borib ariza to’ldirish kerakdir? Fikrimcha, sabab oddiy, Samarqandliklar ko’p ariza topshiradilar, va albatta yutganlar soni ham qolgan hududlarga nisbatan baland bo’lish ehtimolligi yuqori. Lotereyada davlatlar kesimida o’rinlar ajratilgan, davlatlarning ichki hududiy birliklariga ko’ra emas. Hujjatlarni qanday tayyorlash kerak?     Hujjatlarni tayyorlash jarayoni uzoq davom etadi va o’rganib ko’rmagan kishiga juda qiyin tuyulishi mumkin. Aslida unday emas, biror firma xizmatidan foydalangandan ko’ra o’zingiz bu ishlarni qilsangiz samaraliroq bo’ladi. Nimaga? 1) jarayonni o’zingiz to’liq o’rganib chiqasiz va haqiqiy holat bo’yicha to’liq tasavvurga ega bo’lasiz. 2) Har doim ham sizda agentlik xodimidan so’rash imkoni bo’lmaydi, qanchalik yoqtirmasak ham har doim “hujjat ishlari” (paperwork) bilan to’qnash kelamiz, bu jarayonni o’zingiz bajarishingiz dadillik beradi. Boshida qiyin kechgani bilan, borgan sari osonlashaveradi.     Amerikaga kelganimizdan keyin ayolimining “Green card”i 3 oyda ham kelmadi. (maksimum kutish muddati o’tgach ham) Shunda biz Immigratsiya xizmati bilan bog’lanishga, hujjatlarni qayta ko’rib chiqilishiga ariza berdik. Va qisqa muddatda muammomiz hal bo’ldi. Agar biz ham hujjatlarimizni biror agentlik orqali tayyorlatganimizda bu jarayon yangi kelgan yosh oila uchun ancha muammolarni keltirib chiqarar edi. Hattoki qaysi tashkilotga qanday qilib murojaat qilishni ham bilmas edik. Amerikaga kelgach birinchi nimalar qilish kerak? Har bir kishida holat boshqacharoq bo’lishi mumkin, ammo umumiy holatda kelingandan so’ng imkon qadar tezroq quyidagi ishlar qilinsa to’g’ri bo’lad: Biz ham xuddi shu ishlarni qildik, faqat kredit hisob ochish haqida o’ylamagan ekanmiz, ancha kech oldik. Avvalroq olganimizda yaxshiroq bo’lar edi. Qaysi shtatni tanlagan ma’qul yashash uchun? Nimaga biz Chikagoga keldik? Qaysi shtatni tanlashda hamma uchun mos keladigan umumiy formula yoʻq. Mamlakat katta. Shtatlar koʻp, turli, oʻziga xos. Bir-biridan farqli jihatlari ham, bir-biriga oʻxshash taraflari ham ko’p. AQSHga kelayotgan, kelmoqchi boʻlgan, kelishni reja yoki orzu qilayotgan odamlarda ham sharoit har xil, ijtimoiy maqomi-yu, bilim darajasi turli. Kimdir oilali, kimdir yolgʻiz. Dunyoqarash turfa, hamyon har xil. Kimdir tezroq pul to’plab, qaytgach qirollardek yashamoqchi, kimdir oilasiga yordam bermoqchi, kimdir mahalliy aholiga tezroq yaqinlashib, shu yerda ildiz otmoqchi bo’ladi. Kimlardir ingliz tilini bilmaydi va shu bois o’zbeklar bor hududda  yashagisi keladi.  Biz hozirda Seattle shahrida -Washington shtatida yashaymiz, ammo dastlab Chikagoga kelganmiz. Chikagoga kelganimizga asosiy sabab – so’rab orttirgan tanishimiz shu yerda yashar edilar. Shuningdek, o’rganganimizda ham bildikki, Chikago AQShdagi 3-yirik shahar bo’lgani bois o’zbeklar ham ancha ekan. Dastlab o’rnashib, yo’lni belgilab olish uchun tanishlar muhim o’rin tutadi. Bizning ham tetapoya qilishimizga Chikago O’zbek -Amerika jamiyati prezidenti Olim aka Sharipov oilasi asosiy sababchi bo’ldilar. Aeroportdan chiqib, to’g’ri ularning uyiga borganmiz, qolgan barcha ishlarni ular bilan maslahatlashib qildik, har bir idoraga birga bordi, har bir O’zbekiston bilan farqni tushuntirib berdi.  Ko’rib turibsizki, dastlabki qadamlarni bosishda tanishlarning o’rni juda muhim. Ayniqsa oilasi bilan kelgan kishi to’liq tavakkal qilib, tanish bo’lmasdan kelishi ancha qiyinchilikka sabab bo’lishi mumkin.  Xullas, yashash uchun shtat tanlashda dastlab borish, qo’lidan tutish uchun tanishingiz borligiga e’tibor bering.  Amerikada nima ish qilsa bo’ladi?      Amerikadagi o’zbeklar, umuman butun dunyodan kelgan immigrantlar turli sohalarda ishlashadi: taksichilikdan tortib Universistetlarda dard beradigan professorlargacha bor.     Men O’zbekistonda huquqshunos bo’lib ishlaganman, ma’lumotim ham huquqshunoslik bo’yicha. Dastlab kelganimda maqsadim – Amerikada o’qib, advokat bo’lish edi. Ammo hozir IT sohasida ishlayman. Kasbimni keskin o’zgartirishga quyidagilar sabab bo’ldi: 1) Amerikada advokat bo’lish juda ko’p vaqt va mehnat talab qilishi 2) Yuridik xizmat ko’rsatish ham bozor iqtisodiyotining bir qismi bo’lgani sababli advokat bo’lgandan keyin ham mijozlar topish oson bo’lmasligi 3) IT sohasida bo’lgan qiziqishlarim, O’zbekistonda ham ITga aloqador proyektlarda ishtirok etganligim 4) qisqaroq muddatda doimiy yuksalish imkoniyatini beradigan ishga ega bo’lish istagi. Qolaversa, boshida bir necha marotaba advokatlarga tarjimonlik qilib, mendan ular singari advokat chiqishi uchun juda uzoq muddat ketishini tushunib yetdim, shuningdek, tanishlar, bu yerda tajriba orttirgan insonlar bilan maslahatlashuvlardan keyin It sohasini tanlash qaroriga keldik.  Nazarimizda, ish tanlashda quyidagi faktorlar hisobga olinishi kerak: Amerika kimlar uchun? Kimlar muvaffaqiyatga erishadi?      Amerika shunday diyorki, o’z yurtida fan doktori bo’lgan inson bu yerda pitsa tashishi, yoki diplomi ham bo’lmagan odamning katta tashkilotda ishlashi normal-tabiiy holat. O’zbekistondagi kasbingiz AQShda hech qanday ahamiyatga ega bo’lmasligi mumkin. Aksincha, O’zbekistonda e’tiborga ega bo’lmagan oddiy hunaringiz, AQShda tez ish topib, yangi imkoniyatlarga eshik ochishi mumkin. Ammo umumiy xususiyat shundaki, Amerika mehnat qiluvchilarni, o’z ustida izlanadiganlarni ardoqlaydi. “Qiyinchliklarga rozi bo’ladigan, o’z ustida ishlaydigan, qisqa muddatga emas – hayotini Amerikada kechirishni istab kelgan insonlar muvaffaqiyatga ertami-kechmi erishadilar” degan fikrdaman.  Ingliz tilini bilish shartmi? Ingiz tilini bilmasdan ishlash mumkinmi?     Agar ingliz tilini bilmasdan, ispan tilini bilsangiz Amerikada yashash va ishlash mumkin. Har bir davlatning o’z asosiy tili bo’lganidek, Amerikada ham hamma uchun umumiy til – ingliz tili. Til bilmasdan ham yashayotganlar oz emas, biroq yuksak niyatlar bilan kelar ekansiz, shu niyatlarga erishish uchun qilinadigan ishlarning dastlabkisi ingliz tilini o’rganish bo’lishi kerak.  Dastabki xarajatlarga qancha ketadi? Qanday moliyaviy rejalashtirgan ma’qul?     Biz deyarli moliyaviy qiyinchlikka uchramadik, buning sababini quyidagilarda deb bilaman va sizlarga ham shuni tavsiya qilaman: – dastlabki kelganda imkon qadar kam xarajat qilish (biror narsa sotib olishdan avval
