A Yemeni woman has been granted permission by the U.S. to enter the country to see her 2-year-old son who is dying in a California hospital, her backers said Tuesday.

Shaima Swileh — whose child suffers from a genetic brain condition — had been barred under the Trump administration's travel ban from coming to the U.S. to visit him at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a nonpartisan advocacy group, publicized the family's plight this week. On Tuesday, the State Department granted Swileh a waiver, CAIR said.

"Yemeni mother Shaima receives #MuslimBan visa waiver to see her dying child in a California hospital. We’re getting her here ASAP," the group tweeted.

Swileh — a Yemeni national now living in Cairo, Egypt after fleeing her country's ravaging civil war — is now scheduled to arrive at San Francisco International Airport on Wednesday night, supporters said.

In a statement released through CAIR, Hassan on Tuesday thanked supporters and the doctors for all their work for his family.

"This will allow us to mourn with dignity," Hassan said.

Swileh's husband, 22-year-old Ali Hassan, an American citizen living with family in Stockton, California, brought their son to the U.S. for treatment a few months ago, CAIR said.

Doctors have told the family that Abdullah may not have much longer to live, Hassan and CAIR said.

"We are so relieved that this mother will get to hold and kiss her son one last time. The public outpouring of support for this family was incredible," said CAIR attorney Saad Sweilem.

Hassan spoke to reporters Monday.

"I'm here today because my son Abdullah needs his mother," the father said. "My wife's calling me every day wanting to kiss and hold her son for that one last time."

The Trump administration's travel ban, which replaced two earlier versions blocked by lower courts, bars travel to the U.S. from seven countries, five of which are predominantly Muslim: Libya, Iran, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. The other two are North Korea and Venezuela.

The State Department said Tuesday it cannot comment on any individual case. But it said that visa applicants from nations under the travel ban can be granted waivers if they don't pose a security threat and if their absence from the U.S. would cause undue hardship.

Once Swileh arrives in America, the mom will be allowed to remain as she applies for permanent residency, according to CAIR.
