NY father of infant faces deportation |
A New York deli owner, who has lived in the U.S. since 2001, has been jailed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for over two months and faces immediate deportation, despite being married to a U.S. citizen. Indian American businessman Bhavesh `Bobby` Bhatt, and his wife Jeanne Edwards have been married since 2016, and jointly own the Glasco Deli. The couple became parents six months ago when Edwards gave birth to a baby boy; they also own a home in the small rural town of Saugarties, near Catskills Park in upstate New York.In May 2017, Edwards filed an I-130 application for change in status, which would have allowed Bhatt, who is undocumented, to remain in the U.S. as a legal permanent resident and eventually apply for citizenship.
