Hello,
I am contacting you on behalf of 3,200 individuals (this number grows larger everyday) petitioning for the rights of Saad Nabeel.
I am concerned about Saad Nabeel, an 18 year old resident of Dallas, TX. In every way he is an American, he has lived here for 15 years as a very hard working student, and the recipient of a FULL scholarship to the University of Texas at Arlington for Electrical Engineering, and he even has dreams of one day becoming the CEO of Sony. The only issue is, he not considered to be an American by immigration. Born in Bangladesh, Saad, 3 years old at this time, and his parents fled to the United States because of his father’s political involvement in Bangladesh (he had received threats from the government there). His father has fought long and hard to achieve political asylum in the US, and in 2002 they were wrongfully denied this. They overstayed in fear of the threats from the Bangladeshi government, and applied for a green card, which was due in 2010. On November 3, 2009, despite having only two months before the green card was to arrive, he was contacted by a relative informing him that his father had been incarcerated, and that he would also be taken into custody that day by immigration. Saad and his mother fled to the Canadian border to seek refugee status, and to live with his mother's uncle. Here is an excerpt of Saad's personal account about what happened there:
"After a few hours of being kept in the Canadian border, the officers brought us into the same room once again. There, they told me, my mother, and her uncle that her answers to their questions did not match up 100 percent with her uncle’s. Questions such as “What was the color of your niece’s house as a child?”
They told us, 'We do not believe you two have a relation (even though we gave them birth certificates, letters, etc proving that there was a relation) so we will send you back to US immigration.' My mother, as expected, was crying her eyes out."
Upon arrival to the United States, Saad, and his mother were then separated, and incarcerated. Saad himself spent 42 days with 60 other men in one room at Batavia Federal Detention Facility in up-state New York. He was denied all forms of privacy, he was threatened, treated worse than a criminal, and denied food for up to 14 hours at a time. He was forced to sign an agreement under threat of criminal charges that he would not re-enter the United States for 10 years. A GREEN CARD HAS BEEN APPROVED UNDER HIS FATHER'S NAME, and the only thing keeping him from coming back to his rightful home, and to finish his education is this 10 year ban.
If you are able to help us in any way, or even aide in bringing Saad and his family back home, I would be eternally grateful.
There is a youtube page and a video page, just type in Saad Nabeel deportation into YouTube to find it and if you need the facebook page just PM me so I can give you the link b/c for some reason some people cannot find it.
