This is my story:
My parents went to America when I was 4 years old and just overstayed. I left the US on my own accord in 2001, just after turning 20. My parents applied for their change of status after I left and are now permanent residents waiting for their citizenship. My brother, born in the US, is a citizen.
I’m an Indian citizen and not having many options, I came to Syria. Here, I met my husband four years ago, an American citizen. We got married here, in Syria and filed the I-180. Soon after filing, my husband got deported for reasons still unknown to us; he had a slight delay in reapplying for his visa, but that is usually overlooked here. Anyway, as it stands, he can’t come back to Syria and I can’t go to America – we’re stuck!
We've been meeting in other countries during vacation...
