Q: What process does my friend need to go through in order to work here?
I am asking on behalf of a friend -- she wants to be able to work in the US. Her mother was born on a US air force base in Greece and was a US citizen by birth, she later then moved to Greece and grew up there and eventually married her husband who is not a US citizen. she later had a child who is the friend in question. eventually the mother divorced her father and took her with her to the US where she entered on a B2 Visa with original intent to return to Greece but she never did. She came here when she is 8 and is now 20 and still lives with her mother and only found out in the last couple years she can not work due to lack of a social security. Her visitors visa also expired about a year and a half ago and if she has to return to Greece she has nowhere to go and no way to afford coming back since her mother lives in poverty. So I wish to ask on her behalf what steps must she take to become a working citizen here in the US?
A: You should sit down with an experienced immigration attorney, who will investigate the facts and the citizenship law in the year 1995 to provide you with the best advice. Good luck. www.aba-us.com
