Another high tech immigrant from india dies leaving pregnent wife out of status due to backlog Sad loss of life and huge loss for the family. I hope congress acts to help families stuck in the backlog.
It's a hopeless cause here. Indians struck in the green card waiting lot, need to start thinking long term for themselves . Usa cannot solves it's gun laws. Congress will not be able to do anything for us in our lifetime.
How is the pending GC petition related to this death? What was the cause of his death - long delay in approval of his application as the principal applicant of an immigrant visa ?
It’s not. Dependent’s going out of immigration status is.
Pending GC isn't related to his death. The point here is that the wait times are so long that there is a higher chance that someone in the line can die leaving their family out-of-status. In an alternate universe, his GC would have been approved in a timely manner and his family would have also gotten their GC as his dependants. Upon his death, they would have continued living here without having to uproot their lives.
Moral of the story - get the f out of US of A.
Bye
We can help by buying tickets home to his family?
Do you think that's what the problem is ?
Yes, indeed. The woman can no longer stay here because whom she was dependent on and held a non-immigrant visa status is no longer alive. She can transition to another legal visa status or leave. Raise some funds if she cannot afford to leave.
You don’t demolish your house and build a new one just because there’s a hole in your wall.
Exactly. Sadly her house is already getting demolished... in one shot women lost her husband and the house as well.
Damn this is sad.
Even more sad is the folks who think it's okay for this to go on everyday because they want to retain their privilege of getting GC in 2-3 years. Heartless at best.
Wait a sec, how come high tech family ended up needing financial help? Isn’t the whole point coming to work in US is to save something?
Aren’t they all millionaires?
It’s actually kind of disgusting to be using someone’s misfortune to advance their own selfish agenda. If the pregnant wife is really who you care about, ask for exception for her instead of using her to ask for things for yourself.
I am assuming OP is highlighting areas where people's lives are getting unreasonably affected.
I’d bet reasonable amount of money that if throwing that girl under the bus would make S386 instantly pass, they would do it, and they would not lose polite smiles from their faces while doing it.
What happened to the Chinese guy's wife who committed suicide? They also sent her back to China?
If he was on h1, his wife on h4, she was kicked out of the country. If she had a h1 herself or another valid legal status, her immigration status may be okay.
Interesting. What if she sued Facebook tho?
