This is the emotional moment a father is finally reunited with three of his children after being separated for more than a year. Three of Luis’ children, Wendy, 16, Kemberly, 12 and Dylan aged 9, are from a previous relationship and live north of Sacramento, California, with their mom, while Luis resided in Jalisco, Mexico. He’s now married to wife Sandra since March 2016, and in October 2017 they began the immigration process so he could legally reside in the U.S. with Sandra and their daughter Janelly, aged six. But after many difficulties and delays, they thought they were near the finish line in March 2022 but an expected two week wait turned into 13 months. And as Wendy, Kemberly and Dylan didn’t have passports yet they were unable to travel to see Luis – until a Mandamus lawsuit Sandra filed prompted action on his case and in April 2023 he was approved. After taking care of everything in Mexico he later traveled back to California with Sandra on August 27, 2023, and they picked up his kids from school where Luis hid on the back seat to surprise them. They knew Sandra had been to Mexico and usually brings them something home, but they had no idea their dad was the surprise gift this time.
