Nigerian US Army Soldier Appeals to Trump Over Critically Ill Daughter’s Visa Denial

Nigerian US Army Soldier Appeals to Trump Over Critically Ill Daughter’s Visa Denial

A Nigerian woman serving in the US Army has appealed to President Donald Trump to help reunite her with her 10-year-old daughter, who remains in Nigeria after a visa denial. She said they have been separated for 10 years, despite completing the required immigration process. According to her, visa restrictions have prevented her daughter from travelling to the United States. The mother said her daughter is critically ill and needs medical care she fears may be difficult to access in Nigeria. She appealed for a humanitarian exception, saying she has medical reports and other documents to support her request.

What options remain when a child's visa is denied after the family says it completed the required immigration process?

Agreed. Visa decisions deserve a fair review process, especially where a child's serious health situation is involved.

Ten years of separation is a painfully long time, especially with the daughter reportedly critically ill in Nigeria.

An appeal to Trump may draw attention, but the visa decision will still need to follow whatever immigration process applies.

The family could keep all medical records, visa documents, and prior correspondence organized for any review or humanitarian request.
