Solicitar una visa y la entrada al pa\u00eds puede llevar meses y, a veces, la solicitud ni siquiera se aprueba.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erika Kushtan, residente de Portland y miembro de Oreg\u00f3n, reconoce de primera mano la dificultad del proceso de solicitud de visa de visitante de Estados Unidos. La suegra y el cu\u00f1ado de la Sra. Kushtan son ciudadanos de Ucrania, y la compleja legalidad del sistema de visas de EE. UU. ha mantenido a la familia separada durante a\u00f1os. A pesar de los primeros rechazos de las solicitudes de visa, la Sra. Kushtan presion\u00f3 mucho para obtener las visas de visitante de su familia, con la esperanza de que su suegra y su cu\u00f1ado pudieran conocer a sus dos hijos peque\u00f1os. Despu\u00e9s de luchar sola, la Sra. Kushtan recurri\u00f3 al Senador Merkley en busca de ayuda. El personal del Senador Merkley pudo solicitar a la Embajada de Kiev la reuni\u00f3n de la familia. En una carta, el equipo de Merkley abog\u00f3 por que las solicitudes de visas de visitante de la familia de la Sra. Kushtan reciban una consideraci\u00f3n completa y justa bajo la ley. Los esfuerzos del personal de la Senadora Merkley aliviaron parte de la tensi\u00f3n de la solicitud y permitieron que la suegra de la Sra. Kushtan obtuviera una visa de visitante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff comprende la frustraci\u00f3n asociada con las visitas familiares, los viajes internacionales y las solicitudes de visa de visitante. Su objetivo es aliviar el estr\u00e9s de Oregonian, tanto a nivel personal como pol\u00edtico, para garantizar que las visas de visitante sean accesibles para quienes las necesiten.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States has one of the most convoluted visa application processes in the world.
