The United States State Department and political leaders have intervened to grant an expedited visa waiver to the mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, enabling her to attend Sunday’s World Cup clash against Uruguay.

The United States Department of State has successfully intervened to facilitate an expedited visa for Ana Cândida Évora, the mother of breakout Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha.

The veteran goalkeeper became an overnight global sensation following his historic, seven-save masterclass during a shocking 0-0 World Cup debut draw against Spain.

He later revealed in tears that financial hurdles had prevented his mother from traveling.

Under controversial immigration guidelines, citizens from fifty nations, including Cape Verde, must post travel bonds reaching up to $15,000.

However, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries confirmed he coordinated directly with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to entirely waive all fees and expedite the process.

Officials are currently finalizing immediate travel arrangements for a touching family reunion ahead of Sunday’s match in Miami.
