Q: my sister in law has a visa and wants to return to her own country
she wants to give her 2 daughters already here in us school to my wife and I what can we do to keep them here?
A:
It depends on how old the daughters are, you have left out a lot of information. If the daughters are here on a dependent visa, they wouldn't be able to stay here if their mother leaves. I highly recommend you talk to an immigration attorney in private to help you with this situation. Many immigration attorneys including me offer free consultations, make use of the consultations.
All the best.
