Adopted daughter of military family will have to leave the country, court rules
A federal court in Kansas has ruled that the adopted daughter of a now-retired Army officer — who missed a key immigration deadline for her while he was deployed to Afghanistan — will have to leave the U.S., her father confirmed Monday.
Former Army Lt. Col. Patrick Schreiber and his family had put off formal adoption of now-daughter Hyebin in 2013 because he was about to deploy for a year as the director of military intelligence for the 4th Infantry Division at RC-South. He and wife Soo Jin legally adopted Hyebin after he got back, then started the official paperwork to seek citizenship for her. She had just turned 17.
But the U.S. immigration law cutoff for a foreign-born adopted child to become a naturalized citizen is 16, and on Friday a U.S. District Court in Kansas ruled in favor of U.S. Customs and Immigration Services that there would not be an exception in Hyebin’s case. She is allowed to complete her degree in chemical engineering at the University of Kansas, which she will do next year. Then she must return to Korea, Schreiber said Monday.

If the family loses its appeal, all of them will move to Korea, Schreiber said.

There are several staff sections in a division headquarters. They are:
G1, Director of Personnel
G2, Director of Intelligence and Security
G3, Director of Plans and Operations
G4, Director of Logistics
G5, Director of Civil Affairs
G6, Director of Information Management (these days, they tend to call this office "Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence."
G7, Director of Plans and Exercises
This shows you how long it's been since I was in the Army, because way back then the G6 officer was called the Information Management Officer and wasn't considered "staff," and the G7 officer was one of the G3 officer's two deputies - he had a Deputy for Operations and a Deputy for Training.
And she has a chemical engineering degree about to be finished? Doubly dangerous!
