A NIGERIAN immigrant’s dream
came true when President
Barack Obama signed into law a
rare private bill granting him
permanent residency in the
Unites States.
Victor Chukwueke, who lives in
Michigan on an expired visa,
came to the United States 11
years ago to undergo treatment
for massive face tumors.
He graduated from a university in
the state, and plans to attend an
Ohio medical school that requires
him to have permanent
residency, also known as a green
card.
In a rare act, the United States
Congress passed a private bill
this month granting him
permanent residency. President
Barack Obama signed the bill
Friday.
Private bills — which only apply
to one person and mostly focus
on immigration — are rarely
approved. His is the only one to
pass in Congress in two years.
“I was overwhelmed with joy; it
was nothing less than a miracle,”
the 26-year-old says. “Only in this
country can so many miraculous
and wonderful things happen to
someone like me.”
Before coming to the United
States at age 15, Chukwueke
lived in the southeastern Nigeria
town of Ovim.
He suffers from
neurofibromatosis, a genetic
disorder that causes massive life-
threatening tumors on his face.
Treated as an outcast because of
his deformed face, he was
depressed and humiliated, he
says. His family abandoned him
at an orphanage after taking him
to the nation’s best facilities for
treatment.
“I went to a large teaching
hospital in Nigeria and the
doctor touched my face and said
there was nothing they could
do,” he says. “ I cried and
begged him to do something. I
was so tired of the humiliation.”
