The Issue

**PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO CHANGE.ORG, THE TURMALAJ FAMILY DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY PROFITS FROM THIS PETITIONONLY A SIGNATURE AND COMMENT IS NECESSARY AND GREATLY APPRECIATED

My name is Angela Turmalaj, and I am the devoted wife of Deacon Orsin Turmalaj. This past May, my husband complied with all immigration regulations and procedures, and returned to Albania. He left behind his wife, his four young children: John, Mark, Luke, Mateo, and his two elderly parents. Deacon Orsin also left behind his beloved parish, Our Lady of Shkodra Church, where he was ordained a Permanent Deacon in June 2024. As a final step in his lawful immigration process, Deacon Orsin must now file an I-601 Application for Waiver of Inadmissibility, seeking humanitarian approval to reunite with his family and community.  Please take a moment to sign this petition in support of Deacon Orsin's return to the United States. Every signature brings us one step closer to reunification, and will encourage USCIS to review Deacon Orsin's case as quickly and as compassionately as possible. Along with signing, please leave a comment or prayer to show your support for our family. Those who wish to show further support may write a letter of good moral character on behalf of your personal experience with Deacon Orsin Turmalaj. These letters will be submitted along with the I-601 waiver, and are greatly appreciated. Please kindly send your letters to Turmalaj613@gmail.com by Tuesday evening, October 28th. 

On behalf of Deacon Orsin and I, we sincerely thank every individual who has offered their prayers, signatures, or statements on our behalf. We remain faithful and optimistic that we will be reunited with Deacon Orsin as soon as possible. 

Thank You & God Bless, 

Angela Turmalaj
