A New York doctor who has been treating coronavirus patients says she's still reeling days after getting a devastating letter: Her green card application was denied.
Iafrate, who immigrated to the United States from Canada, says she's lived in the U.S. for 13 years, completing a residency program at the Mayo Clinic and a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Iowa. For almost three years, she's been working at the Columbia University Medical Center. And she's been a team physician for the USA Ski Team and Columbia University Athletics.
Several days ago, Iafrate says she heard from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that her green card application had been denied.
"I was blindsided. I was flabbergasted, and so was my immigration lawyer and so was my chair of my department and everyone else involved in this case," she said. "They ask you to be an expert in your field ... and I am. I've proven that time and time again. And I was just blown away that at this time, of all times, they don't think it's necessary to have someone like me here."
