Help Reunite Ribvar & Morgan: Legal Aid for Family

Ribvar and Morgan Karimi are facing an urgent and heartbreaking challenge. Ribvar, a legal immigrant with a valid visa, has been unexpectedly detained by immigration authorities. Despite following every step of the legal process, he now faces weeks in detention without even the chance to appear before a judge. Morgan, his wife, is seven months pregnant and experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. The stress and anxiety from this situation have taken a serious toll on her health, and she is now facing the possibility of raising their child alone after years of working to bring Ribvar to the United States legally.

The couple has already spent their life savings on the immigration process and the initial consultation with an attorney. Without immediate financial help, they will not be able to afford legal representation, leaving them with little hope of keeping their family together. Ribvar’s absence means Morgan is without her partner and support system during a critical time, and their future as a family is at risk.

Morgan is a dedicated student at UAB who has worked full-time to put herself through college. She and Ribvar spent years meeting in Turkey while navigating the complex immigration process. Ribvar quickly became a beloved member of Morgan’s rural Alabama community, supporting her family and friends, and caring for Morgan’s father during a health crisis. Most importantly, Ribvar helped Morgan find her self-worth and guided her toward a healthier, happier life. Their story is one of perseverance, love, and hope. Any support will help them secure the legal help they need to reunite their family and give their child the future they have worked so hard to build.
