Don't disabled/handicapped have the right to have the Father beside them or marry the person they love whether or not they are from the USA?? How many handicapped/disabled people are making almost $30000 a year? I have been told that unless I can show an annual income of almost $30000 a year, our handicapped son and I have to live without his Father (who is my legal husband). This is prejudice against ALL disabled/handicapped people. 

I have been told, I can get a co-sponsor for the missing income. I was in a wheechair for 15 years before I married my husband. Expecting someone who is in this position, to have the resources of a non-disabled and healthy individual is really being biased, unfair and out of touch with reality.

My son at 2 years old is suffering severe Psychological trauma from being born into persecution in Iran and losing his American Grandmother and Father. He has developmental issues, an eating disorder, an emotional disorder and VSD congenital heart disease. All except the VSD is being caused by his mental health. My Mother and husband were acting as his Mother until we left because I was too ill from the forced surgery I was given. 

I left with our baby with Iranian passports ahead of my husband and Mother in order to get medical and help for my Mom to be released. The US embassy provided the letter she needed and right before her release, my Mom became deathly ill within a couple hours and died. Her death was at the very least suspicious as my husband had visited with her that day and she was fine.

No autopsy was allowed and we were not allowed to bring the body back. After my inlaws held a family funeral for her in Iran, my husband prepared to leave. The government tried to hold him there too and he made a dangerous journey over the Turkey mountains to get out. The Ankara Turkey embassy had told me once I entered USA, I just had to invite my husband to come.

Once I was in USA, I found I needed to show an income of almost 30000 a year to show support for my husband. My own health has deteriorated and I suffer chronic pain which is not being treated properly. Our 2 year old's condition is getting to the point where he may not recover to keep up with other children his age despite his intellect. He needs his Father. If anything happens to me, he will become ward of the State we live in.

My husband has a work history in several high paying fields. He was a chef at the Green Room in UK as well. He is not allowed to work in Turkey and is suffering in a hard labor job, where there is no protection for his lungs and he has to work 12-16 hours a day, six days a week, for $10 a day. Our family is living in extreme hardship after the trauma we have already suffered. Because of our health, I cannot even begin to address the situation with my MOM being held and dying in Iran. I loved my Mom and the Iranian government needs to be held accountable for what they did to her and our family.

If my husband was here, he would be working and supporting us instead of starving in Turkey, living in horrid conditions. Our child would have a chance to heal and would have access to health resources he DOES NOT HAVE. It took me 9 months just to get him referred to the Children's hospital on Florida State HMO. He is a sweet little boy.

When he sees his Father (which is rare) on pc, he tries to go through the monitor to get to him. Afterward he screams, cries and takes violent fits. He wakes up crying for "DAH DAH". He is 2 years old and has a psychological eating disorder where he chokes and vomits on solids and thin liquids. He doesnt walk. He can't say but only 5 words and since reaching 2 years old has lost all but one. I am educated in child development. I have spent over the normal time in trying to teach him things.

Even if I had surgery and was medicated properly, there is no way I could possible make the income required to invite my husband with our two year old handicapped son. Yet, they send me emails from immigration saying if my husband had been here illegally or if he is here illegally HE CAN STAY. This is not fair. This is placing one group of people above another..the people adjacent to our US borders. No one else is getting in illegally.

We are all supposed to be equal. My husband and I have been married almost 4 years now. We were married for 2 years before I came back. Please, if people who aren't even married, but are here illegally can stay. Please can you sign this petition so my husband can come support us and our son can get better?

I don't want to live on public support, so our son can grow up this way. He is just 2 years old and soon it will be too late for him. The most important years for development are 1-5. 

If my husband comes, I will get the medical I need with his help and then I hope to work too. I want our child to have good role models to follow. Wouldn't you want the same for yours?

I am including this video link in hopes that you can see how my son is traumatized without his Father so badly. They are deeply connected.
