10. sorry, I should have been more specific

I meant her husband and mother-in-law, although now I see that "we need to be together again" was probably just referring to her husband and not her whole family-in-law.

Anyway, I wonder if there is a community near you who would know how to help. For example, in my town there's a small grocery store that stocks food from Russia, Ukraine, etc, and the owner probably knows just about everybody of Eastern European descent in the area; is there anything like that in your town? Your daughter must be feeling so helpless and alone and it might be helpful for her to talk with people who've been through family separations and so on in the process of immigrating, plus they might have some advice on how to streamline the process.

I wish lots of good luck to her. It must be so frustrating to have huge geopolitical events affect her life on such an immediate and personal level.
