He passed away (died).

First, I'm very sorry for your loss...

Second, There may be a way that you can remain in the US, but it will take very good legal representation. You really need to have a consultation with an immigration attorney at this time...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You have all my thoughts and prayers. I don't know what the rules are but I think as a widow of a USC you should be allowed to stay if you want to. The marrage was in good faith and you did nothing wrong.

awwwwwwwww... i am so so so sorry... my thoughts and prayers are with you. as for your legal process, i have no clue to what can / will happen next. maybe there are others here on vj who could give you accurate information... but i would think that you would rather talk to an immigration attorney. again, i am so sorry for the loss of your husband. please take care and let us know what happens.

God bless!

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. :(

I would sit down with a good attorney, too. If your husband's estate is being handled by an attorney, he or she might be able to recommend someone for you to meet with.

Deepest sympathy to you and your family.

If you want to remain in the U.S., I believe as a widow, you have certain legal rights to remain in the U.S.

I would try to get a consultation with an immigration attorney, at a reduced cost. We went to one that charged us for advice for a small fee for one hour, and they answered all our questions for us.

Good luck to you, whether you decide to stay in the U.S. or return to Canada.
