    True, but it’s a green card hearing that should have been done 29 or 30 years ago when she was 15 or 16 and trying to get her first job. :)

    She’s been here since the George H.W. Bush administration… plenty of time to have worked things out.

      She married the American at 15 or 16?

      So, yeah she should have done it after getting married. Her parents should have spent the thousands on lawyers to get it done as a kid. While sure you can file the paperwork yourself, the process is absolutely horrible for someone who’s a native speaker.

        She’s Canadian, so pretty sure she’s a native speaker. Sure, could be French speaking…

        She didn’t marry at 15 or 16, but that’s generally the age kids look to get their first jobs, that would have been the time to start looking at legal requirements.
