The immigration authorities of the United States have granted the humanitarian visa requested by Alejandra Ruiz Zarco to travel from Mexico after the death of her daughter Ana Basaldua, a soldier at the Fort Hood Texan military base who was found dead on March 13, as confirmed by News Telemundo from family sources.
She will be delivered on Friday and will last three months.
Ruiz Zarco will be able to travel from his home in Tacámbaro, in the Mexican state of Michoacán, where his daughter was born and his daughter grew up before becoming naturalized Americans and crossing the border;
The father of the military, Baldo Basaldua, lives in Long Beach (California).
The week before, Ruiz explained to Telemundo News that the costs of the trip are borne by the Army.
He said he will travel with his daughter, Natalie, 19, who is a US citizen.

The soldier's body is found at the Texan base.
Her death is still being investigated by the military authorities, who have pointed out that she was not murdered;
Family and friends are reluctant to believe, however, that she took her own life and ask for an investigation.
