My Coworker Might be Forced to go Back to Her Home Country
So I need a bit of advice on something for one of my beloved coworker. She came to the United States in March 2021 from Russia on her husband‘s asylum case. Long story short, he’s cheated on her multiple times in the past and she just found him doing it again and she’s sick of it. Unfortunately, she can’t divorce him because if he does, she will separated from his asylum case and she’ll be forced to go back to Russia (and put into jail since she’s been in the US for so long). He’s also planning on leaving the country at the end of the year. So if he leaves, the asylum case will be thrown out and she’ll be forced to leave.
My coworker has made her life here and doesn’t want to go back home. She spoke to our managers/bosses about getting a work visa, but we have to wait and see what the higher ups say, and getting the visa is not guaranteed. I really don’t want her to be forced to change her whole life again because of some stupid man. I unfortunately don’t know a lot about the immigration process and what can be done, so does anyone have any advice? Anything is appreciate :)
