| hi
| i came over here in 2001 with my 2 children to visit my boyfriend who
| is a american by birth, we can on a visa waiver program from the uk.
| well the story is we got married while i was here legally, and just
| stayed on, now my oldest son has graduated school and my youngest has
| just started high school, but we have done nothing legally to change
| our status, so in effect we are here illegally but came into the
| country legally, what do i do now, my son wants to work but hasn't got
| a ssn etc, and some of the info i have received i will have to leave
| the us and start the process from the uk, my kids really only have
| known living here, and i can't take them out of the country, and it
| just seems to expensive all the paper work to do, is there a easy way
| of doing it or do i have to try and find about $6000 to make us legal.
| thanks for any input
I know this will not solve anything but had your husband filed the petition
as soon as you two got married you could have possibly been a US citizen by
now. Back in 2002 the fees were a lot cheaper too.
Ignoring the law or not taking it seriously can have difficult consequences.
