The dying wish of terminally ill Texas teen Qirat Chapra has finally been granted.

The 18-year-old girl, who suffers from lymphoma and chronic lung disease, learned on Wednesday morning that the US government has agreed to grant her parents, who live in Pakistan, travel visas to come to the US and see her one last time.

'We are happy to inform you that Qirat's parents' visa application was approved. We are overjoyed by this news, and it could not have come at a more perfect time,' according to a statement put out by Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, where Qirat is in hospice care.

Wish granted: The US government has agreed to issue travel visas to Qirat Chapra's Pakistani parents following her desperate plea on social media begging to see them one last time

The statement goes on to say: 'We have so much to give thanks for today. Qirat's parents are going to get to come see her again.

'Qirat has been waiting for this day for over a decade and it's the only thing she has wanted since then.'

According to the Houston hospital, the reunion between the parents and their dying child could take place as early as next week.

The news comes more than two weeks after Chapra's loved ones launched a petition through the White House in hopes of securing visas for her parents, who have not seen Qirat for more than a decade.

Chapra arrived in the United States when she was just four years old to seek treatment for multiple illnesses.

Chapra's parents and two younger brothers live in Pakistan. The teen was born in San Marcos, Texas, while her mom visited family and returned to the country when she got sick.

Earlier this month, the teen appealed to the public through a video on social media asking people to sign the White House petition begging the US government to allow her parents to visit her.

Her parents have been trying to see their daughter for years but have been repeatedly denied visa applications, and have only been able to speak with Chapra through email and phone calls.

Chapra is in hospice care at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she is being treated for T-cell lymphoma, lung disease and frequent pneumonia.

'I've been here 13 years and I've been in and out of the hospital ever since,' she told ABC News. 'I have a lot of family members and relatives here and they're really great and so supportive, but there's nothing like your parents.'

Doctors said that Chapra's time is short, and her aunt, Neelam Ghanchi, said that the teen's already-fragile immune system is deteriorating.

Ghanchi said that Chapra's parents' visas were denied because the girl has enough family members in the United States to take care of her.

'I'm taking care of her for a long time and we don't have any hope for visa,' Ghanchi told KTRK. 'So I told her we have no idea how can we apply again because every time they deny it.'

Chapra was born in the United States while her mother was visiting family. Though she returned to Pakistan with her mother, she re-entered the United States for lymphoma treatment when she was four years old

Chapra has organized a petition through the White House in hopes of getting visas for her parents.

She has received close to 26,000 signatures at the time of publication. She needed 100,000 by December 8 to be considered by the White House.

'My last wish to see them. I do not want to leave this world without seeing them. It's been all my life and I don't know how long I'm gonna stand,' Chapra told KTRK two weeks ago.

Immigration attorney Gordon Quan said that the family's best option would be humanitarian parole, and that this is a good reason for it to be granted.

'We have to show justification why that person should be allowed in the country and justification that would believe that person would return to their home country at the end of the time,' Quan said.

Chapra said that even if she only had a short time to see her family, it would be worth it, according to KHOU.

'I really want to see them - it's been so long,' Chapra said. 'I've been very sick and in very serious condition. The doctors don't know how long I'm going to be well enough. Even for five or 10 minutes, I would appreciate it.'
