Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a widow and her children not to be deported to India following the death of her husband.
Sunil Rastogi died on 18 February in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, hours after suffering a cardiac arrest.
His wife Priya Rastogi and their family, who have lived in South Gloucestershire for more than three years, are tied to Sunil's work visa which they depend on to live in the UK, but it expires in August meaning they face deportation.
Mrs Rastogi said: "People are supporting me, they're thinking about me. As a single mum, I feel very strongly to fight for my kids and myself."
Under Home Office rules, Mrs Rastogi, her seven-year-old daughter and eight-week-old son, are set to lose their right to stay in the UK because of his death.
The Home Office has been contacted for comment.
