Petra And Charlie Stay In USA


 

Petra and Charlie Stay in USA is a blog to help gain awareness about a mother who is trying to find the right lawyer to  help her gain American Citizenship. Her daughter, Charlie, is an American Citizen.There are so many immigration lawyers to choose from, how do you know if you're getting the best one? Petra has spent over $6,000 in lawyer fees and her status to stay in the country has not changed.

Petra moved to LA when she was 14 years old on a student Visa. She got married to her high school sweet heart and then she gained her Green Card. One year later, he cheated on Petra. She became heartbroken and depressed and fell into drugs. Her battle to numb the pain was short lived because she got in trouble with the law, which made for an offense on her record. She turned her life around and now 12 years later she is being penalized by a mistake she made when she was 19. 

Petra has a beautiful 3 1/2 year old daughter named Charlie. She loves to read, draw, and dance with her mom and dad. Charlie and her dad are citizens but it would be a shame if her mother had to leave the country. As a single mom who co-parents, Petra wants to keep her family close and strong. 

Petra is currently working to gain $10,000, which is the going rate for immigration lawyers, so she can stay in the USA to raise her beautiful daughter with her family. 

Once she has this money, who knows if the lawyer will fight for Petra to stay in the country or take her money like the last lawyer did. We are looking to spread her story in hopes of finding a passionate and  competent lawyer who will at least help get her Green Card reestablished, if not citizenship. 

Petra wants to  be a good example for her daughter and enroll in college to become a Nutritionist or Dietician. Providing for her family and doing what she loves would make her a great role model for her daughter, but it will also help Petra gain a sense of freedom in a country she loves. 

I've known Petra for over 7 years. She comes into the room with a smile and makes everyone light up. She is an upstanding person, who is truly caring and selfless. Petra is a hard worker who stays optimistic even through hard times.

Please share this story with as many people as you know, in hopes to find the right lawyer for Petra and Charlie to Stay in the USA!
