Re: Case No. CDJxxxxxxxxx & CDJxxxxxxxxxx
Applicant: daugther1 & daugther2
Application for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability (I-601)
Claim of Extreme Hardship on the U.S. Citizen Mother



Dear Sir/Madam:

I, USC, declare under the penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States, that the following is true and correct:

I am writing this letter in regards to the I-601 petitions that were filed for my daughters NAME1 & NAME2. The purpose of this letter is to provide documentation of hardship to my family and myself; their absence is affecting us emotionally, physically and medically.



I - FAMILY BACKGROUND

I was married in Los Angeles California in 1979 (1) to HUSBAND, LPR (2). We had my two oldest daughters there in 1980 and 1982. We decided to return to Mexico for family reasons in 1985. I had my youngest daughters, DAUGHTER1 and DAUGHTER2, in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico in 1986 and 1989 respectively (3-4).

When my oldest daughters grew up, they decided to come back to USA. I moved to Colorado in 2003, when one of my daughters, USC, was pregnant, leaving my littlest daughters in Mexico. DAUGHTER1 was 15 and DAUGHTER2 13. This decision hurt me so much because we are very close and it hurt them also because that age is a hard stage for teens. I spent 1 year and 4 months just thinking about them. It was not easy to leave them; it’s really hard to do something like that. I visited them twice in that period. When we had to say good bye, it was always tears and tears, and them asking me to come back as soon as possible. However, working in the U.S. gave me the opportunity to give them a better quality of life, even though they really needed me more.

They finished school in 2004 and I just wanted to have them with me again. Unfortunately, in my ignorance and despair, I never got the right information to have them immigrate the legal way, so we made them EWI. DAUGHTER1 was 17 and DAUGHTER 15.

At this point I beg for your pardon. I just didn’t think about it. I needed them as much as they needed me. Now I regret this; DAUGHTER1 and DAUGHTER2 never meant to break the US laws.



II - EXTREME HARDSHIPS TO THE U.S. CITIZEN’S MOTHER

My daughters and grandchildren mean the world to me, They have been very supportive to me emotionally. If my daughters are not admitted to the United States, it would mean my relocation to Mexico because of them, breaking my heart in two. I would have to leave my closest family (husband, oldest daughters and grandchildren), my job, and friends, to go to an unknown future in Mexico.

Being in Mexico would make me worry about my family in the U.S. I simply don’t see my life away from my daughters again. The emotional pain would be too hard.



III - MEDICAL HARDSHIP

My husband, LPR, would be unable to move with us because he has had cancer (6). Every 6 months he has to take medical tests to keep him healthy. Working in the U.S. he’s able to do that because of his insurance. Also, as you know, every LPR has to stay in the U.S. or could lose his permanent residence. He would also worry about us, giving him more stress to his medical situation.



IV - FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.

In Mexico it is really hard to find a job for someone of my age. Companies want only “young” people. Also I would have to travel to the U.S. at least twice per year because of my husband’s health and to see my family, so it would be really hard to find a job with that kind of flexibility. In the U.S. I have everything -- family, friends, a secure job, insurance, and a house. The possibility of staying in the U.S. is totally null if DAUGHTER1 and DAUGHTER2 are not admitted… I don’t want to live with the same worries and despair as I did when they were in Mexico and I was in the U.S.

If I went back to Mexico with my daughters, my husband would have to sell our house because there’s no way we could afford it. Having to pay for a vehicle, a house , and children’s.


V - COMMUNITY TIES.

Our family are active member at the Hispanic Christian Church “Iglesia Nuevo Amanecer”, Aurora, CO. (7) DAUGHTER1 helps the teacher once at month and helps to raise funds for youth events. DAUGHTER2 is the leader of dance. At every service her group dances to God’s glory. Her ministry has been almost 2 years. We look forward to church and serving our Lord daily. We would like to continue this relationship and service in our church and grow even closer to God.


VI - EDUCATION

DAUGHTER1 and DAUGHTER2 would love to go the college. In Mexico DAUGHTER1 took a test to be accepted to a University / College, and she passed (8). Unfortunately she was unable to attend because I made her move to the U.S. She agreed because it was her strongest wish to be with us rather than stay in Mexico alone. DAUGHTER2 was honored in Douglas County High School, as “Husky of the Month” (9) even though she attended for only a few months. By the way, DAUGHTER1 also got same honor (10) even when she enrolled to learn English. Even so, she did her homework as a regular student and got good grades (11) . DAUGHTER2 graduated from Rangeview High School in 2007 (12). I know they will be very good students if they just get the opportunity.



CONCLUSION:

Please consider our case and grant us this pardon.
My daughters are special girls. I am not saying this because I am their mother. They are really special, They have never given us problems, even in their teen years. If you could just meet my daughters; you would understand how I feel. If they aren’t admitted I will lose a piece of my heart and will have to traveling back and forth to Mexico to be with my family.

I respectfully request the waiver be approved and DAUGHTER1 & DAUGHTER2 be allowed to be reunited with our family in the United States of America.

Mayra, you need to expand on each one of the hardships, you need to give more facts and more proof!
Good luck! Check out the approved hardships section to help you!

I don’t think you should include birth certificates or resident stuff. This should already have been established.

This needs a ton of work. There really isn't much here at all that expresses why it is extreme hardship for your daughters to be barred from the U.S.

You need to read some of the other approved letters to get an idea of what is required. In the sticky posts in I-601 Mexico you will also find more help.
