DEXTER, MO (KFVS) - A couple facing separation because immigration issues is getting a second chance. Tom and Cherry Brown got married earlier this year.
Cherry is from the Philippines, so she applied for a work Visa and permanent citizenship. Heartland News spoke with the couple in September, just days after Cherry got a letter in the mail saying her application for the Visa and citizenship had been denied. It stated she had 30 days to leave the United States.
The letter said there was no chance for an appeal, but with the help of local government the couple says they were able to get the case reopened.
The couple also tells Heartland News Representative Jo Ann Emerson's office is working with the couple on this case. There's no word on when this case will be settled, but Cherry will be allowed to stay in the country until a decision is made.
