The Shestakov family has lived and worked in Anchorage. Alaska for more than ten years. Nadezda has now returned to Russia. and Ilya is attending high school in Canada. in order to avoid further immigration problems. and to demonstrate that they intend to be good citizens who live within the letter of the law. Nadezdas husband. Michail. is a legal immigrant working for Aleut Enterprise Corporation (AEC). an Alaska native corporation. and their youngest son is a United States citizen. Both remain in Anchorage awaiting the reunion of their family. During their time in Alaska. Michail has been an exemplary employee of the Aleut Corporation. As a matter of fact. it was the Aleut Corporation who first brought this issue to my attention. as they wish to support the Shestakov family in any way possible. The children have excelled in school. and Nadezda has remained an athome mother. pursuant to the terms of her original visa. The Shestakov familys problems began when they overstayed their visa 152. Pt. 1 141 due to an error by their attorney. who did not file the extension paperwork on their behalf. as requested. These are upstanding members of the Alaska community. and they should not be punished due to an error by their former attorney.
