Born to an Indian mother in Pakistan while she was visiting relatives there in 1953, Mirza Ali Ismail, 65, is unable to get visa to see his 90-year-old parent who is on her deathbed
His brothers with their mother Amina, who is currently bedridden
All Mirza Jaffer Ali Ismail, 65, wants is to spend time with his 90-year-old mother as she battles end-stage cancer. The problem is, while his mother is Indian, he is Pakistani by birth and American by citizenship. His mother is in Hyderabad, and Mirza is stuck in Atlanta, US, unable to get a visa to visit India for the past two weeks. Now, he's worried he might not get to meet her at all.
According to Mirza's family members here in India, their father had also been diagnosed with cancer and succumbed to the ailment in 1986. Mirza fears his mother, Amina, might also be in her final days. Mirza, who was born and brought up in Karachi, Pakistan, is now an American citizen and a resident of Atlanta, Georgia. He applied for a Indian visa around a fortnight ago, but has received no response from the Consulate General of India, Atlanta. Meanwhile, precious time is slipping away.
