I am over the age of eighteen and competent to testify herein.
I am a Washington State resident.
I came to the United States from Iran on an EB-1 visa in September 2015.
My EB-1 visa means that I am allowed to remain permanently in the United States.
I have a husband and a fourteen-year-old daughter, but no other family here.
My sister was approved for an EB-1 visa in December 2016, but she is waiting on the
embassy to schedule her.
7. The President’s executive orders prevent my sister from moving to Washington on her
approved EB-1 visa.
