Keep My Sister in the U.S.

Created by M.R. on February 06, 2014

Dear people reading this,

My name is Maya, my mom is from Saudi Arabia and my dad is from America. That makes me American. I have a sister. I know you call it half-sister but she's not. She's my sister. My sister is a Saudi, my mom had her in a previous marriage. For 26 years, my sister wasn't able to leave Saudi Arabia because of her dad. He was a terrible man. When my sister was 26, my mom was able to get her a passport. That was not easily done, since a law in Saudi Arabia was only the was only the dad could get a passport. So when that happened, we all left. We came to the U.S. It will take my sister more than 8 years to get a residency here. In the mean time, she needs to be on a student visa. It's too expensive. She can't go back, she'll be killed or arrested. Please help her stay.
