Hello!

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?




Without knowing all the facts of course, that appears to the best other option.


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.



These are really fact-specific matters so it's really tough for me to comment.


Alright, thank you for your time!
