I have an illegal immigrant friend that has lived in US for 8 years and was in a 5 year relationship with a resident.
She got married with this same resident in 2003 and got separated December 2006 and has one child with this person that is 3 years old.
Along with the separation she filed domestic violence and a restraining order.
After court case the lawyer said she will have her "papers" / residency granted within 3 years and a work permit within 3 months {unsure of exact durations} due to the domestic violence... meaning it no longer counts on the "good-will" of the husband to push through the paperwork for her status to be in the system and in process.
However, she has a 10 y/o child overseas. Apparently only after she is a resident can she supposedly begin that process to ask for her child.
Couldn't she possibly present a case and get her child atleast a temporary visa in the mean time with a paternity exam or some form or tactic considering her "pending" / "guaranteed" future residency status? How?
