1-601 Primer Draft, Cualquier Sugerencia Sera Agradecida!!

[Jesus Nunez]

ESTE ES EL PRIMER DRAFT DE MI WAIVER, ESTA ES UN POCO DIFERENTE YA Q EL SUFRIMIENTO ES PARA EL PADRE Y NO PARA ESPOSO O ESPOSA. LES AGRADEZCO POR ADELANTADO SUS COMENTARIOS!!!!





To Whom It May tConcern,

My name is Federico Mendoza. I was born in Mexico and on March 2, 1928 and am a U.S. citizen. I have lived in the United States for the past 40 years. The first 25 years in this country I lived in San Francisco where I became a member of the teamsters union and worked in a garlic processing plant. I have had the good fortune of living a good life in the U.S. and am grateful for all the opportunities I have had.

The purpose of this affidavit is to request that the government of the United States grant the waiver my daughter, Eleazar Mendoza, needs so that she may be by my side again. We are a tight-knit family, and my daughter’s absence is severely affecting me and my four grandchildren.

I am not a young man; I am 80 years old. I recently lost my wife, who was my companion for 55 years and the mother of my 12 children, the oldest of whom is Eleazar. My wife, Maria, was the matriarch of the family. She was a petite woman standing at five feet two inches tall but she had a big spirit. Maria was funny, affectionate, warm, and welcoming. She was a good, religious person who treated me like gold and loved music. In fact, she was quite the dancer in her younger days. For her, maintaining family unity was a priority. As is natural, my wife passed the torch to our oldest daughter Eleazar, who for many years now has been the head of this family. In her adult life, Eleazar has done all in her power to help me and her mother as well as her own children and extended family. Eleazar did all that is good for me and Maria. She always made sure that we would be on time to church and our doctor’s appointments and took care of all domestic needs . Eleazar is the engine of the family. Without my wife and without Eleazar, I am left a perpetual guest in the home of family who mean well, but who are not able to care for me the way Eleazar can.

I have suffered a huge loss in my life and cannot overcome this depression. More than ever, I need Eleazar by my side. She is not simply a daughter, she is a person who has been an integral part of my daily life for many years. She knows how to read me and usually knows what I need before I even realize it. Furthermore, when Eleazar was here, the family got together every Sunday for cooking and celebrating birthdays and holidays. I miss my daughter terribly. I don’t feel I have somebody to really help me, and it breaks my heart to see my grandchildren suffer in her absence. For me, life is getting more difficult by the day, and I need someone to take care of me, someone who has always had my best interest at heart and who knows how to get through to me and help me.

I am alone now. All my life I have worked hard to support my family, and my daughter Eleazar has been the one to truly reciprocate. I need her help. I need to continue going to the doctor and keeping a healthy lifestyle with less stress. I have high blood pressure, heart disease, and hearing loss. I have noticed that there are times that I am confused over things that did not confuse me before. I trust only Eleazar to know how to help me through these difficult times. Having Eleazar in Mexico is a source of great stress, and seeing her children suffer is truly unbearable. I pray that we can all be a family again sometime soon.


Sincerely,

Federico Mendoza

Hi Jesus,

I remember your case now. I think you need to develop this more. This letter alludes to some issues but I think it needs to be more factual. Do you have evidence that that your sister cares for your father? If he has medical problems you need to have records and then have him describe how she is required to help him, not just the emotional side.

I would expand on the fact that your father's wife died. Discuss more of how he is feeling and what sort of emotional toll it will take on him if his daughter is not allowed to come back. Also discuss his ties to the U.S. and how it would be impossible for him at this age to return to Mexico.

I hope that helps a bit.

[Jesus Nunez]

in another words, you want me to collaborate more on the death of grandmather, @ this point will u think they will aprove this hsl!!!! I do have evidence of everything I'm written!!!!!

[Laura]

Well, I think overall you need more hardships here, and that was just an example. This is a heartfelt letter, but it's not very factual. If you have lots of evidence it might not matter, but you really need to relate everything back to why if she is barred it will cause your grandfather hardship. Maybe he can write about how he would suffer knowing that you and your siblings would have to be separated from your mother. Does that make sense. Your hardship without your mother doesn't count, but you could include that from his perspective as a hardship to him.

[Jesus Nunez]

yes I understand, but I can't find anything else to put, everything what I said, I have evidence. My grandfather is not suffering any sickness at this point which is good. what grade will you give it from 1 to 10?

[Laura]

I don't give grades. If that's all you have, just hope it's enough. I don't know what else to tell you.

I have high blood pressure, heart disease, and hearing loss. I have noticed that there are times that I am confused over things that did not confuse me before. I trust only Eleazar to know how to help me through these difficult times. Having Eleazar in Mexico is a source of great stress, and seeing her children suffer is truly unbearable. I pray that we can all be a family again sometime soon.

All these medical issues will help, and might be your strongest points, however, you should place those first. Take a look at the approved HSLs thread to get more ideas. Keep working it! :)
