Widow's American dream far from grasp in Japan
"Miwa is one of the more than 200 widows and widowers who have contacted Brent Renison, the pro bono counsel for the Oregon-based Surviving Spouses Against Deportation, since 2004. After their spouses died, so did their dreams for a life in the United States, as they were either deported to their home countries, or told by immigration authorities that they could not return to settle in America."
