Separated by the travel ban, these couples are recording videos to plead their case
Sitting in her office in Rockville Maryland, high-school teacher Jessica Breitschwerdt Monfared checked the image on her cell phone to make sure she was centered on the screen. She took a breath and pushed the record button.

She and her husband, Pouya Monfared, applied the next month for a spousal visa so he could join her in Maryland."We are going through this process to follow the rules and bring him here properly," she said on the video.
