My wife and I met in Atlanta, GA. We dated and became engaged. She returned to Brazil and then could not re-enter the USA because she overstayed her original visa.

After a few trips to Brazil, I decided to move there to be with her and her son. I've been in Brazil for about 4 years now. Other than to be with her, one of the main reasons I did this is because I felt one day we would be able to return to the USA. I never intended to live in Brazil permanently.

But during the immigration process she was given a permanent ban for fraud. They say she received a tourist visa, but actually come to the USA to work.

So I'm in the process of creating the waiver packet.

My family situation in the USA is not good. Last year my father committed suicide. And my brother is not doing well mentally either. My mother is doing ok, but as the years goes by I'm the only family member that will be able to care for her. I really need to be back in the USA to help support my family.

But now I have a wife and step-son in Brazil. Living in Brazil has taken a drastic toll on my finances. I really need to get my wife and step-son in the USA so that the entire family can be together and I can earn a decent living.

How will this effect my waiver packet? I mean, I can't argue that leaving the USA will be an extreme hardship because I've already left the USA. They can say that I should simply remain in Brazil.

If I return to the USA to help my American family then I will be emotionally ripped apart. If I stay in Brazil it will be extremely sad because I can't help my mother and brother.

I'd like some advice on what I should focus on.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
