Attorney: Mumbai widow's time in US restricted

NEW YORK (AP) - The Israeli widow of a rabbi who was killed in the 2008 Mumbai attacks faces restrictions on her time in the U.S., where her eight children live.

Thirty-seven-year-old Frumet Teitelbaum's children, ages 2 to 14, are all American citizens and live with her late husband's family in Brooklyn.

Her attorney, Michael Wildes, says Teitelbaum has been cited for overusing her visitor's visa while visiting the children, making it difficult for her to extend her stay or become a permanent resident.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman John Saleh said Monday he couldn't comment on her case.

Her husband, Rabbi Leibish Teitelbaum, was a U.S. citizen who lived in Jerusalem. He died when gunmen on a three-day rampage struck the ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement's center in Mumbai.
