BAGHDAD, IRAQ - JANUARY 22: Marwa Naeem, 13, and her father, Mohammed Naeem wait for a car to take them to Baghdad airport on January 22, 2006 in Baghdad, Iraq. Marwa, her siblings and parents were fleeing their Baghdad neighbourhood during the 2003 American invasion when an American missile struck near their car, killing Marwa's mother and disfiguring Marwa.

She will stay with an Iraqi family during her stay in America. (Photo by ) Coming to America (as an Iraqi Refugee)
