He won't see his first child born

Jan 31, 2017 2:08 PM

This is my sister, Rachel, and brother in law, Hogar, an Iraqi citizen from Kurdistan. I am sponsoring his US Visa application. Rachel and Hogar have been married since 2013 and worked through the vetting process during the last 2.5 years. They appreciate the process, however, thanks to Trump's immigration ban, Hogar will not be able to see the birth of his first child next month.

I'm sorry, @OP - that's heartbreaking. I hope this lunacy ends and they are reunited soon.

I think it's a perfect solution.

Spend ANOTHER 2 grand, and do something to endanger the life of your child -- you are neither a parent or an intellectual.

Pregnant women aren't supposed to fly this late in the pregnancy. Also she won't be able to come back if she has a double nationality

Flying while 9 months pregnant is not a good idea.
