TAMPA (FOX 13) -
A Bay area family will be reunited Monday after five years.
The much-anticipated homecoming was delayed when Fred Ngwashi missed his
connecting flight in New York.
The native of Cameroon was deported in 2007. He came to the
United States in the 80s on a student work visa. The INS sent letters to the
family, however, that said he was going to be deported because the visa had
expired.
But a lawyer told him it was under appeal, and to wait it
out. The family heard nothing else until a knock at the door came, and he was
arrested.
Ngwashi will arrive at Tampa International Airport Monday
after receiving his green card last month.
