BOSTON (June 20) - The wife of a U.S. soldier missing in Iraq could face deportation, her lawyer told a television station.
Authorities became aware of Yaderlin Jimenez's illegal status after her husband requested a green card for her.
Army Spec. Alex Jimenez, who has been missing since his unit was attacked by insurgents in Iraq on May 12, had petitioned for a green card for his wife, Yaderlin, whom he married in 2004, Boston's WBZ-TV reported Tuesday. Their attorney, Matthew Kolken, said Yaderlin illegally entered the United States from the Dominican Republic in 2001. Her husband's request for a green card and legal residence status for her alerted authorities to her situation, Kolken said.
