How can Someone who is in the process of Becoming Legal Make the process go faster?

Question

I hve been here since I was 10, I was brought here illegaly by my parents , we are now in the process of becoming legal residents, I am now 21 but that process from last i heard may take many more years up to 10 if not more, we have already been in this proces since 2003, though my dad's brother who is a citizen. I would like to know if there is a faster way or is there any other country who would take me as well. By the way because i am now processing the INS cannot deport me, but still can't work.

Answer 1

Actually, ICE can still deport you up until the time you get approved unless you have legal status.  The process works at the speed that it works.  AS to whether another country will take you, what's wrong with your own country?

And how come in your other question you are 22 and were brought here when you were 9?

Answer 2

Well, you can't make the process any faster, and how long it may take depends on your country of origin.

The Department of State's visa bulletin (click on http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bullet... to read it yourself) for July 2008 states that visas will be made available next month for people who applied on or after the date shown on the last line of the first table shown.

Look at the column that corresponds to you and that will tell you how long you can expect to wait... and like I said there is no way to make this faster.

Answer 3

Im in the same situation.

I came here legally on a student visa when I was 6. Now I am 17 but this visa doesnt allowe me to work. 10 years after coming to the US from Europe I finally won the green card, but oh guess what, this is taking another 2 years.
