Fortunately, in 1981 the United States of America accepted his family as refugee status, and his whole family immigrated to the U.S where they settled in Santa Ana, California.

During Dr. Kay’s early childhood, he did not have any formal education until he arrived in the United States. Hence, he did not know how to read or write, nor did he speak English.
