Widow of 26/11 victim granted green card to stay with her kids

The Israeli widow of a Brooklyn rabbi, who was killed during the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks, has been granted a green card to live in the US with her eight children.

37-year-old Frumet Teitelbaum, an Israeli citizen who was stopped by officials in March after she landing at Kennedy airport because of overusing her visitor's visa, was granted a green card last week.

She was then given two weeks to stay in the country.

Her attorney, Michael Wildes, applied for a green card under a post-9/11 law that gives families of terror victims the right to a green card and permanent residency, according to the New York Post.

"My client is elated that she has the right to permanently reside in America, and she has the right to raise her eight American-born children," Wildes said.

Rabbi Leibish Teitelbaum died after LeT terrorists attacked the Chabad-Lubavitch movement's center in Mumbai in 2008.

Before moving to Mumbai in 2008 as an inspector of kosher food, the rabbi was living with his wife in Jerusalem.
