Rabi Mohamed has waited for his family for seven years now, stuck within a process that should have taken months.
MINNEAPOLIS — A St. Cloud man is suing the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services after waiting on his family for seven years. He and his lawyers allege that his family reunification petition was subject to needless scrutiny and unusually long wait times, partially due to neglect. Rabi Mohamed, a long-haul truck driver who lives in St. Cloud, came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2015. He received that status as his parents had filed for him when he was younger, having grown up in a refugee camp in Ethiopia after his family fled Somalia from war and persecution. It was at that refugee camp, he met his wife, Sahra Abdulahi. There, Mohamed and Abdulahi married and had three children, Hudayfi, Hamza and Kalid. Then in 2015, when Mohamed’s application to come to the United States as a refugee was approved, he moved to the U.S. by himself, as he understood that adding his wife and children to the refugee case would significantly delay processing.
