A friend\'s visa ran out at the beginning of October but she wants to stay and work in the US since it is the only way she can support her mother in Mexico. She is afraid to go to INS to try and renew or see what she can do to fix the problem because she thinks they will deport her. She has been living in the US for 4-5 years, has a bank account, a job (2 actually), and an apartment. She has a son who was born 3 years ago in the US. I am not sure if she was ever married to the her son\'s father (I have never asked, it is a VERY touchy subject with her). I am trying to find out what can be done for her to get her visa renewed, get a new visa, or even apply for permanent residency in the US. It is very hard for me to get this done as she doesn\'t know that I know her visa ran out. It was passed on to me by a mutual friend and I really don\'t want to see her leave so I am trying to do what I can to help.
