Lost a U.S. Citizen Spouse?

Losing your spouse is incredibly difficult, and navigating immigration on top of that can feel overwhelming. Here's some hopeful news: as a surviving spouse of a U.S. citizen, you may be able to stay in the US.

There are a few forms you might need, depending on your situation:

• Form I-360: This establishes your eligibility for immigration benefits as a widow(er).

• Form I-485 (with Form I-360): If you're already in the US and eligible to adjust your status to permanent resident, you'll likely need these together.

• Form I-131: This helps you travel outside the US while your application is being processed.

• Form I-765: This allows you to work legally in the US while your case is pending.

Important:

Each form has its own requirements, so carefully review them to see which ones apply to you. Consider talking to an immigration attorney or accredited representative - they can guide you through your options and make sure you submit the right paperwork.

Remember, there are people who can help you through this challenging time. Don't hesitate to reach out for support.
