The woman from our travel group whose husband passed away unexpectedly two days ago needs urgent help. Her adoption is already final in the eyes of the Chinese government. Now the U.S. consulate here is denying her a visa for her daughter to come back to the U.S. because of the "change in her marital status." This woman needs help fast before the consulate closes for Thanksgiving and she is stranded here indefinitely. If anyone out there is in a position to help, please get the word out. Her name is Sandra Sheldon. Her late husband was Dennis Sheldon. She is from Lansing, Michigan. Her congressman is Mike Rogers. His phone numbers are (202) 225-4872, (517) 702-8000, (877) 333-MIKE. Her senator is Debbie Stabenow (202) 224-4822 (517) 203-1760. We are in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
Please forward this to anyone you know who might be able to help.
Please respond ASAP.
Any help deeply appreciated.

I called the office of the President, they are forwarding this info thru their Dept of State liason. The CBS news station in Lansing has info and may be running with it also. I will continue with more phone calls to the State Department, but so far I have just gotten phone chains. Mark Mancl

Rebecca Has anyone over there contacted the U.S. Embassy? Ruthie

Information has been passed on to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Not sure if they will do anything, but can't hurt to give it a try.
Hope everything gets resolved and she is able to come home with the group.
One of the Lansing TV stations had the situation already posted on their website and Mike Rogers was going to be working on her behalf starting at 7:30 PM EST.

My thought is to contact the consulate and ask them to help. an immigration lawyer is expensive but might be the shortest path home for both of them. If your friend takes that route, perhaps we can best help with financial contributions toward the immigration lawyer fees.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all,
Aunt Linda
