Azizbek Yusupov is a young male from Navoi, Uzbekistan, just north-west of Sammarkand. Having been one of the lucky few to be selected for and complete the green-card lottery for low-skilled migration to the United States, Azizbek entered the country through what to seemed to him oddly unofficial channels, especially given the bureaucracy that seems a constant obstacle in Central Asia. His handler re-assures him that this is normal, and that the pay is fair and conditions are good. It does not take much of Aziz's intuition to know this is not true, but with aging parents and two children to care for in Navoi, he ultimately accepts his life for hope of a better future.

Aziz speaks very little English, but is incredibly resilient in the face of hardship and possesses a strong will to continue forward. He is very conservative, but generally receptive to outsiders and attempts to be welcoming through his actions, for lack of English words. Life in the United States has been difficult - more so than in Navoi - but Aziz is determined to return home no matter the cost to himself or the dream life he once envisioned.
