[samira_jung]

Hi everyone,

can u pls help me out....a friend of mine is from indonesia - came on a visitors visa and overstayed. She has since had a daughter (who is a US citizen). Her husband is also an illegal immigrant. She is good human being and willing to work v hard....i know her well. Is there any way that as a US citizen - i can sponsor her (note - i am not related to her).

Is there anything that can be done is such a situation ?

PLEASE HELP !!

It is a tough situation. Ask professional immigration lawyer for help.

The only way an overstay is forgiven is through marriage to a US citizen. She could of course talk to a lawyer, but I doubt there is very much (if anything) that they could do.
And no, you cannot sponsor her.
