Indian Widow of Hate Crime Victim Loses U.S. Visa

HeadlineSep 15, 2017

The widow of an Indian man who was murdered by a racist gunman at a Kansas bar last February has been denied a visa. Sunayana Dumala’s husband was working in the U.S. under the H-1B visa program, and after his murder, Dumala’s residency was terminated. Dumala is enlisting the help of Congressmember Kevin Yoder, who says immigration law should be changed to protect the spouses of hate crime victims.
