REDWOOD CITY, CA. ---Have you ever had that feeling of
being “there and yet far away”? That was exactly
how Pinky felt in her moments of joy, then despair, and
then joy again. Pinky was widowed on Christmas eve 2001
and was left with four children. She thought her luck had
changed when she entered the US as a fiancée of her
US citizen boyfriend. Unfortunately, her fiance changed
his mind – No marriage. But her Fiancée petition
(K-1), required that she either marry the US citizen who
petitioned her, or return to this Philippines. Pinky considered
going “TNT”.
But then Pinky met Robert, another citizen, at a party.
They fell in love and Pinky felt that this time, they were
really meant for each other. They got married in Staten
Island, New York after only one week of dating. Pinky and
Robert thought that marrying each other would help legalize
Pinky’s status in the US. But it posed more problems.
Pinky could not adjust her status in the US, because marrying
another US citizen (other than the one who originally filed
her fiance petition) would prevent her from getting her
papers in the U.S. And to complicate things even more, Robert
had previously married another woman in the Philippines
in 1998, and that marriage has not been annulled at the
time that he married Pinky!
Pinky met with three lawyers who refused to handle her
case, telling her “It’s hopeless”. Pinky
and Robert persevered, and sought the help of leading immigration
attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel. Find out how Pinky was able
to overcome all these obstacles, get her green card, and
live the American Dream, on this Sunday’s episode
of CITIZEN PINOY!
