Q

Anything else you would like to add?

A

My father passed away when I was 10 years old. I am the youngest and the most educated and most successful in my family. I love this country. I have always done and said the right things. This has allowed me to become a better person. Today I am a nurse because I needed to provide better care for my sick mother. I am the chief operations officer of several non-profit federally funded medical clinics and have 125 people working for the clinics. I have no children of my own. I am the sole care taker of my mother. Both of us are widows and she requires daily care. If I were to leave, my mother would have no one to care for her. She would become further burden on society and tax papers because she would have to stay in a nursing home and she would eventually die of sadness. I married my husband and then we applied for my immigration patition but thru no fault of his, he was taken prematurely from this world by gunshot. After this the immigration people said that my petition is denied because he is not alive. My motherinlaw is here. She has even helped me run the nonprofit clinic by giving us loans when there were hard times. I have lived 28 years of my life in this country that is now mine. This is more than 1/2 of my life has been spent in this country. I have no home to go back to in India. All my family members are here. It has been 28 years judge, this proceeding is going on for about 10 years and it is a huge stress on me and my family. I can do much better for this country if you resolve this issue today.
