By Frumet Teitelbaum lost her husband in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. Now she may not be able to see her kids.. Teitelbaum, 37, was stopped at Kennedy Airport last month after arriving from Israel, where she lives. She had come to visit her eight children, ages 2 to 14. All are American citizens and live with the family of her late husband, Rabbi Leibish Teitelbaum, in Brooklyn. Teitelbaum was a follower of the Satmar ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect.. Now Teitelbaum, who was cited for overusing her visitor's visa, cannot extend her visit or apply for permanent residence, said her attorney Michael Wildes. She is in New York and he, along with government and community leaders, are working to make sure she remains here.. "We're very disappointed she was treated this way," said Wildes. A spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said he could not discuss her case because of privacy. Wildes said Teitelbaum will apply for her green card within the next few weeks.. Satmar leaders have been working Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's office since last week. - AP
