Sunayana Dumala, whose 32-year-old husband Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed at a Kansas bar in February, fell out of status because her permission to reside in the US was tied to Kuchibhotla through marriage, Congressman Kevin Yoder was quoted as saying by the NBC News.
"We're not going to let this happen to Sunayana," Yoder said on twitter.
Dumala managed to regain her residency status as she lost it after the assassination of her husband.
Kuchibhotla, an aviation systems engineer and programmes manager at GPS maker Garmin, was in the US on a temporary non-immigrant H-1B visa, granted to highly skilled workers.
"When Sunayana lost her status, to me it really added insult to injury," Yoder told NBC news.
