Overview
- Jenny Slatten’s daughter said on Wednesday that the family has begun a visa application for Sumit Singh so he can come to the U.S. and bring Jenny back for treatment.
- The family applied for an emergency tourist spousal visa rather than a green card because the immigrant process would take much longer given current backlogs and consular demand.
- Jenny’s doctor provided a note saying she cannot travel alone, and Christina said Sumit has served as Jenny’s full‑time caregiver since her May ALS diagnosis.
- Sumit is waiting for an appointment from the Indian consulate and the family was told by a senator’s office that consular scheduling and busy visa hubs could delay the process.
- Christina plans to travel to India to help with logistics, a GoFundMe has been launched to cover care and travel costs, and approval would determine whether Jenny can access U.S. treatment covered by her insurance.
