Here is our story. I am a US citizen and my wife is basically an illegal immigrant. We have been married for 8 1/2 years and have 2 children. I do volunteer work from home and watch the children and she works albiet illegally it seems full time. 8 years ago we filed our paperwork and it was subsequently lost. We had 2 state reps try and help us but to no avail. Since my wife had started working we could not start over and quite frankly did not have the money to do so.
We would finally like to get her legal to stay here and to work but are afraid she could be deported and/or lose her job which would destroy the family obviously. Although I do not make enough according to immigration status she does and my parents have offered to vouch for her or whatever it is called. Also, her passport is no longer valid. What should we do. We can pay the fees and the like but doubt we can afford an immigration attorney. Can she be deported even though she is married to me and has 2 children with me. This is not a fake marriage for green card status obviously. How can we go about getting her legal to work and get the green card and anything else you can help with. thanks
