Cambodian family in Cincinnati receives green cards after 18 years of immigration struggles

Channy Heng and her family in Cincinnati have finally received their green cards after 18 years of immigration struggles. Their case was reopened following a news report that highlighted their long battle for permanent residency. Heng, who moved to the U.S. in 2007, faced denial of her marriage-based green card due to claims of a fraudulent marriage. After years of legal challenges and the death of her husband in 2018, her case was reconsidered. Now, Heng has received her green card, bringing relief to her family. Her son expressed gratitude for their stepfather's support, and he plans to apply for U.S. citizenship in the future.
