Attorney: Mumbai Widow's Time in U.S. Restricted

Associated Press: (AP): Frumet Teitelbaum lost her husband in the Mumbai terrorist attacks. Now she may not be able to see her kids. Teitelbaum, 37, was stopped at Kennedy International Airport last month after arriving from Israel, where she lives. She had come to visit her eight children, ages 2 to 14. All are American citizens and live with her late husband’s family in Brooklyn. Now Teitelbaum, who was cited for overusing her visitor’s visa, cannot extend her visit or apply for permanent residence, said her attorney Michael Wildes. She is in New York and he, along with government and community leaders, are working to make sure she remains here. "We're very disappointed she was treated this way," said Wildes, adding that he faced similar challenges when representing surviving spouses from the 9/11 attacks. "She broke down in tears at the airport."
