My wife is here on DACA after being brought here illegally when she was eight years old. Due to her illegal entry, we aren't allowed to apply for a green card until she has a legal entry, which is prohibited for 10 years.
We currently are working with an attorney that is trying to get her through on a hardship petition (claiming (probably rightly so) that her being deported would be damaging to me (a citizen)). Is this this best path forward?
Ok; we have some friends who claimed that since they were brought in by a citizen, and they were just "waved through" as kids in the backseat of the car, that constituted as a "legal entry".
I'm not an attorney but that didn't really seem like it would hold up since it seems like anyone could claim that.
