Woman can apply to live in U.S., court rules
An appeals court ruled that a woman ordered deported to South Africa after her husband of 11 months was killed in a car crash has the right to apply to live in the United States.
The ruling Friday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco did not stipulate that Carla Freeman, 29, a dual citizen of South Africa and Italy, could remain in the United States, but it said she could keep her status as a spouse and could apply for residency.
She was working temporarily in the country as an au pair when she met Robert Freeman of Merrillville, Ind., whom she married in 2001.
She filed papers to become a permanent noncitizen resident as the spouse of a citizen. But her husband was killed in a collision with a truck in Merrillville, and the Department of Homeland Security ruled that she no longer qualified for the new status because she had not been married the required two years.
A three-judge panel ruled Friday that, because she already had filed an adjustment-of-status application, she was entitled to procedural guarantees.
After her husband's death, Freeman moved to Oregon to live near his family.

Effort to pull birds off protected list rejected
Federal wildlife officials have rejected two petitions to remove the Western snowy plover from Endangered Species Act protections, but they proposed easing penalties for harming the tiny shorebirds in areas where the population seems to be recovering.
The Surf Ocean Beach Commission of Lompoc and the city of Morro Bay had filed to remove the species from federal protection in California, Oregon and Washington, arguing that the snowy plover actually isn't in danger of extinction and isn't genetically distinct from inland populations.
Fish and Wildlife rejected the petitions Friday, finding there was not enough crossbreeding between inland and coastal plovers to sustain the beach-breeding variety.
