Comment on Ask HN: How can I (illegal immigrant/programmer) get legal status in US?

Comments

Once someone immediately related to you becomes a citizen, they can apply for your citizenship regardless of your immigration status. Do checkup on it in detail, I have a very strong hunch about it being correct.

If not that, talk to a better lawyer about asking your local senator to help you in gaining legal status and see if that helps. Or maybe apply for immigration through asylum due to the military requirement in home country?

Now that I read some more responses maybe the under 21 rules do come into play but maybe a senator can help with that? Getting this question answered from another lawyer would help too.

Sometimes, time will have to tell but remember you can succeed on your own just fine and remember to define yourself by your own work rather than the law - just be cautious of the law and live with your purpose that you have lived with. You truly are amazing mate.
