RE: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Applicant: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (I-601)
Claim of Extreme Hardship for U.S. Citizen Spouse
I am writing this letter in regards to the I-601 petition that I have filed for my XXXXXXXXX. His main goal for coming to the United States was to better his life and the life of his parents in Mexico. He has always wanted to be successful and to be a better person. Since we met in March of 2000 I knew that he was the one that was going to make my life whole. He is my husband and a wonderful father to our five children. I can’t imagine my life and the life of my children if I have to relocate our family to Mexico if the I-601 is not approved. I am begging that you will approve the I-601 and allow XXXXX to return to the United States so that we can continue to strive to be a family again and work to be the best that we can be in my country. In this letter I will list all the extreme hardships if XXXXXX is denied his admission into the United States.
MEDICAL
I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and I am under medical care. I am currently taking Fluoxetine.( Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Fluoxetine is approved for the treatment of clinical depression (including pediatric depression), obsessive-compulsive disorder (in both adult and pediatric populations) I also developed a skin condition that is caused by stress and I am also having to use Triamcinolone(Triamcinolone is a synthetic corticosteroid given orally, by injection, inhalation, or as a topical ointment or cream. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Triamcinolone is used to treat many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions caused by stress, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, or breathing disorders.) I have always been very healthy and I know that this depression and stress is due to this immigration process that I am going through. I know that if XXXXXXX were able to come home and with his support and care that he could provide would help me to succeed in slowly weaning myself off of the medication. Both emotional and physical well being is very important to me. I need to be healthy again for the sake of my family. Having to think of the extreme hardship that I will have to endure if Rosalio is denied entry into the United States would be unbearable. I recently took the Holmes-Rahe scale and the results were very disturbing. The score that I received indicates that a major life crisis is highly predictive (80%) of serious illness within the next two years. These results are due to changes in my life that have taken place. I have never had any kind of serious illness in my life and never really understood why or how people could suffer from depression. I was one that was very happy and cheerful because my life was going just the way I dreamed and then I hit a big wall and I want to get through it but I have a lot of obstacles to endure before that happens. I pray to God everyday that I can do this and finally be able to be with XXXXX and my children and not have to endure this loneliness and feeling helpless through the years that I have experienced. I know that my depression for the past four years have had a very big impact on my family. I refuse to go to family gatherings. I choose to stay away from everyone that is going to ask me how I feel or how I am doing financially. Nobody knows what I have been through and I just have a hard time talking about my situation without getting mad at myself for things that weren’t important, but for me everything and anything people said were important for me and most of the time took it the wrong way. For the most part these past couple of months I have been a very angry person. The day that XXXXXX had his initial appointment with the consulate I was 99% sure that he would be able to come home with me. I was not aware at that time what a waiver was and why it was needed. I also did not have any knowledge of the overstay in the US. I knew that it was illegal for XXXXXX to be here but did not know what I had to do to make it right. After XXXXX was told that he would have to have a waiver I was devastated, I thought what am I going to do now. I at that point felt very helpless and sad that I was going to return to the US without the love of my life. When I arrived the thought of having to tell my children that I had failed them and XXXXX was the worst feeling in the world. I have always blamed myself for not have researched more about this immigration process. I thought that I was able to complete this on my own and everything would be okay, but it wasn’t. I started shutting everyone and everything out of my life. Nothing in this world meant anything to me. I wanted to give up on everything. I always prayed and asked God “why the punishment, is this what I really deserved.” I now know that I have a second chance to make it right with this appointment for XXXXXX. I hope that you find it in your hearts to approve this waiver so that I can feel like I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to. I just need to give it time. And I hope that this time I will be able to bring XXXXXXX home to reunite with his family. That would be the greatest gift anyone could ever give me.
FINANCIAL
My financial situation has been very difficult to deal with. I have been raising 5 children all by myself for the past four plus years. I have had to resort to getting assistance from the Department of family services. I receive assistance with food stamps, Medicaid for my children and also childcare. With the help of my parents I was able to move into their mobile home and pay for the home in payments. I am currently a supervisor at XXXXX. I started working there in XXXXXX. In XXXXX we lost our client that we supported and the company had no choice but to lay everyone off. From XXXXX to XXXXXXX I worked at a bookstore. I was relieved when XXXXXX found another client and I got my job back. My bills consist of a car payment loan payment that I am making monthly to help with the debt that I have with collection agencies. If I was to have to relocate to Mexico I would have to sell my house along with my car and there is no way that I would be able to find a job that pays what I make now to be able to start all over again in a country that my children or I am not accustomed to. I also have attached all of the bills that I pay in a month. And as you can see I have been constantly in a struggle to have money left over so that I can fulfill my children’s needs. I am not ashamed nor am I proud that I have to resort to the government to help me with my needs but if XXXXXX is given the chance to come home and be able to provide for us, I know that we can make things right with our country and see to it that we contribute to the USA instead of having to lean on them to provide for me and my family.
FAMILY TIES
My family means the world to me. My parents and sisters and brother have been very supportive. I live about 5 minutes away from them and if it weren’t for them being there for my children and I, I know that I would not have made it this far alone. My father has been there emotionally and financially. He has always helped me when I do not have any other option then to borrow money from him. That I am very ashamed of because I should be able to provide for them and meet their needs instead of me leaning on them for support. But it is what it is. I am very proud to say that my parents in January of this year became citizens of the United States of America. They are very proud to call themselves American citizens. I would love for to one day have that opportunity to be able to be proud of being an American citizen as well. I have three boys that are his. XXXXX born XXXXX born XXXXX and XXXXXX born XXXXXXX. My son was born in . I was pregnant with my youngest XXXXX when XXXXX left in XXX XXXX to his of the following year and that was one of the hardest times for me because I knew that this process was going to take awhile. I knew that my son was not going to be able to grow up and know whom his father is. Thankfully I have been able to go and visit XXXXX in Mexico at least twice a year. With the economy and prices skyrocketing I have not been able to take the children to go see their father since XXXXXX. This was the first Christmas that my youngest son was able to spend with his father. It was very hard for me to see my son not close to XXXXX and treat him like a stranger. I also have two daughter’s from a previous marriage there names are XXXXX who was born XXXXX and XXXXX who was born XXXXXX. Both girls love and have grown very fond of XXXXX. The girls have always seen XXXXX as their real dad, someone that they can turn to if there is anything at all that they need. When my XXXXX left to Mexico my girls were devastated. At the time they knew what was going on and they understood that he was not going to come home for a long while but they didn’t and to this day still do not understand how a “bridge” as they say can possibly separate their stepfather from our lives. The separation from XXXXX has caused emotional problems for the children. They do and will continue to shut themselves out of close families lives only because they are afraid that if they get close to anyone that person will one day not be able to be a part of their lives and that scares them very much so. My daughters have not seen XXXXX since XXXXXX. It has been very hard for me to take all five children at once to Mexico. Last Christmas I was unable to spend Christmas with my daughters, their biological father XXXXX would not let me take them out of the country. I can’t even imagine having to make the decision of having to separate myself from my daughter’s lives if I was to have to migrate to Mexico. Since I have joint custody with the children’s father, I would not be able to take them with me out of the states. That would be unbearable for me as well as my children. If XXXXX were not allowed to return with us to the states I would be raising my children as a single mother. Like any mother, I want my children to at least have the chance to have all the choices in the world to be better people and contribute to the US. I also want to be able to provide for them and I do believe that if we have to move to Mexico I will not be able to do that for them as well as have to be separated from my girls. XXXXX and I want to provide our children with the same love and care that we have for each other. We want to give them the best lives and education, medical care, and most all for them to feel comfortable and safe in their environment and surroundings. I do know that this is only possible in the United States of America.
