Hyebin Schreiber is getting ready to leave the country she loves — the one her father, a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, fought for for 27 years.
The 22-year-old from Lansing, Kan., doesn’t want to self-deport. Adopted from troubled relatives in South Korea in 2014, she now possesses a legal Kansas birth certificate.
This is her home.
But for five years, she and her parents, Lt. Col. Patrick Schreiber and his wife, Soo Jin Schreiber, have been in pitched court battles with the U.S. government, which claims that as the result of a regrettable immigration SNAFU, the young woman must go back to South Korea.
The problem is that in 2013, Schreiber, just before he deployed to Afghanistan as a chief intelligence officer, didn’t get the right information about filing adoption papers. He says an attorney told him he needed to adopt Hyebin before her 18th birthday for her to have U.S. citizenship. But the age was in fact 16.
