Prayer That The Lord Reunites My Family

My husband was in the U.S. illegally from June 2006- Feb. 2009. We got married and bought plane tickets so that he could return to his country of origin (El Salvador) to begin the process of getting a visa. We talked to many lawyers who said it would take aprox 2 years. We filed the paperwork and when it was reviewed two years later it was denied. He is not elligable for 10 years but we can get 5 of those 10 years waived by prooving hardship to the family (we have 3 children together currently living with me). This means that we still have 3 more years of seperation and can not try to refile again until 2014 ( the law is: INA 212 a6b is the ruling if anyone is interested in legal things). I tried living in El Salvador with him for two years when my eldest was younger. For these reasons it did not work: it is Very dangerous there, especially for foreigners, my eldest daughter is now school age and the school system is no where close to first-world schooling, and finally we cannot support ourselves with the living wages we earned down there. Now I up back in the U.S. with the kids and he is still there. It has been over a year that we have seen him. There is not a chance for us to get him back to the U.S. for another few years (precious years for children) and even in 2014 when we have the chance to file again, we could possibly be denied and/or have to wait more years just for the paperwork to be viewed (the embassy there is truly horrible). I am desperate to get my family together again and I have been praying to Jesus every day, knowing that He hears me and that I cannot rush His will for our family. We are now currently trying to get our family to Canada (although as anyone can imagine this is a very precarious process as well). This is the only option I have at the moment and my hope and prayers and faith rest in the Lord that we will be reunited again as a family. If anyone reads this, please pray for my family that we may be reunited in a land that we can all live together in legally, that offers a safe environment for our children; and job and school opportunities for us. I pray this to my Heavenly Father and to Jesus Christ my Savior, Amen
