This one\'s pretty tragic and messy but I\'ll try to stick with the facts that I think are relevant.
I\'d appreciate information on any provisions by which a person who came from Mexico at age 5 legally under a guardian, could gain citizenship. She is now 23.
Here are some details that might contribute to the cause:
She grew up physically and emotionally abused by her guardan and was abondoned at age 16 or 17.
Her papers don\'t allow her to work but after abondonment she decided she\'d do it anyway.
She supported herself while getting her high school diploma and went on to go through community college. She\'s a few credits away from her AA.
Through means I don\'t know she got a SSN and has been paying taxes. She got a bank account and credit card.
Her loving guardian came back into her life and asked for monetary help in the form of some signed blank checks, she obliged (terror? guilt?). He perpetrated fraud on the bank and got $10,000 dollars that wasn\'t in her account.
She refused to stay with him, he insisted she be taken care of by brother #2 who used the internet to bilk $11K from her credit card, didn\'t pay rent, got her evicted and dissappeared.
(Let me say at this point that I\'ve verified the facts to the best of my ability.)
As a consolation prize, her guardian gave her a "borrowed" identity (Yes, some dolt actually loaned out her identity after moving to Mexico). She thought it was all legal and started working under that identity. Paid taxes under her new SSN and kept her new identity out of trouble. Now, she understands that it isn\'t legal.
By some act of which most would consider sheer stupidity, she wants to move into her old identity, pay off the bank and declare bankruptcy to escape credit card debt, now standing at 25K, all on $11/hr.
The huge wrench in the works is that she wants to work legitimately under her old identity and return her brother\'s false identity gift. What\'s wrong with this woman? You guessed it; she\'s religious.
She\'s been in no other trouble.
And so, I was hoping there was something among all this stuff that would help her qualify to work legitimately and/or get citizenship.
Marriage might work but she\'s pretty sure no one will be excited to marry an illegal alien with a crime and debt/bankruptcy over her head, plus she\'s saving herself for the right man; I\'m not joking.
[No, she won\'t testify against her brother. She has been informed that she and some of her loved ones would have accidents if such occured. I\'m doing my very best to help her with that, I promise. She does have a low cost lawyer. I don\'t have my hand out, but my resources are limited]
Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be able to help out with info, except for would-be husbands or ambulance chasers.
Sincerely,
Surrogate Dad
