 Re: RN without SSN or work permit
Visa may have been issued for ten years but any I-94 on tourist status is never for more than six months. That is because you were issued a multiple entry visa, not one to remain here for ten years at a time.

Re: RN without SSN or work permit
I wouldn't go as far as to say that she "cannot be trusted". I think that's a bit harsh to say. Sure, she did break the law and is here illegally, but think about it, how many of us "broke the law" and speed on the freeway? We've all done it, does that mean that we can't be trusted?
I think she feels bad enough as it is already, lets not make her feel worse. I know we all do things that sometimes isn't right, and sometimes when we make our bed we must lie in it. We must accept full responsibility for our actions and I'm sure she's aware she will have to do that. But can't she at least go back home for the time being and apply for a student visa? Are they denying those at the moment too? I just wish she'd thought about it twice before going to school here with out any legal status. I just don't see how she could have slid right through school and not asked that. It's next to impossible.
But the previous poster is right, they can ask you for papers if they want you. I heard even a cop can stop you on the street and ask you for papers.
Good Luck, and I hope you make the right decision for yourself.

Re: RN without SSN or work permit
Thanks again everybody! living here for how long I've been living has taught me the problems that that involves, but I was mainly wondering about volunteering because I don't want to loose the skills that I've learned, an RN license I do have and it's totally legal, I also have my ID and my ITIN number, issued by the IRS, to pay taxes, which by the way I pay every year from my personal bussines, and I'm not going to be getting any back from social security, not that I'm asking for it either. I know that no matter how good I try to be in this country, I will always be considered an illegal and be compared with a "thief," or "drug abuser." I know that I have to pay one way or the other, anyways, I've been living here for a while and if I have to leave soon or later I will be more than ok, thankful to God, to this country and to the people that have helped me and my family. Thanks again for your advice, I really appreciate your time and the information, thanks to that I've decided to give that up for now, I will keep studying though, and I've found somebody that is giving me legal advice, believe it or not, my future is not to gray after all  | | No. 25 |

Re: RN without SSN or work permit
...which you really don't want to do: it is illegal to get married in the US if you do not have a Fiancee visa.

If you have a personal business here but do not have permission to work here, then you are subject to being deported immediately. It is one thing to have a business out of the US and come thru selling something to another company, etc., but when you have your own business that you are using to make money in the US; then you are considered working here and can find yourself in more trouble even.
And be careful with the legal advice that you get if it is very different from what we have been telling you here, it could cause you additional grief, best of luck to you.

Re: RN without SSN or work permit it's obvious that people still don't know much about immigrants, there's more than 11 million living like me here, and we all live one way or the other, hopefully paying taxes and following to our best the stablished order, and we have to make money with own business or as employees, many hispanics restaurants have illegal owners, did you know that? also cleaners, caregivers including CNA's, housekeepers, farmers, chefs, waitress and list goes on and on.... Of course now, it's more difficult, but all of us know that we can be deported at any time, in my case I have tried to avoid long term debts as well as children, since in case that I have to leave I wouldn't like taking them away from their country. And I'm already happily married, have been for almost ten years. And just for knowledge about this subject, what's a fiancee visa, people don't need that, I have never heard that before, unless, I guess, somebody that has a girlfriend in another country, requests to bring her here to get married, otherwise that's not necessary, I have family that came here and years later got married, recently, and now are legal without any need to get out or pay the banned years, none of that, interesting subject though, probably never ending. But thanks again for your advice and also about me asking for legal advice, I'll be very careful, thank you guys! I'll keep you inform! | | No. 28 |

Sorry, but we are all very aware of what goes on and well aware of what happens if you get picked up for any reason and this is becoming more of a possibility on a daily basis since ICE has increased their booking rate.
Fiance visas are when someone is a US citizen and wishes to bring their fiance to the US; they have 90 days to get married in or they do not get the proper documents to remain in the US, and the green card that is associated with that is only valid for two years, not the five years that they are routinely issued for so that the US government can make sure that everything is on the up and up with the marriage.
Just because someone came here not legal in the past and remained and then got married, does not mean that it is the correct way to do.
You came here asking for out advice and all of us have given you the same advice and that is to be very careful. And whether or not you are aware of it, US immigration also comes here to read. Please be very careful and best of luck to you.

Re: RN without SSN or work permit
It doesn't matter if your kids are born here or not, if the parent wasn't born here and the Immigration office finds out about it, they will come after the parent and deport them.
I've known of people who were here legally, but their children weren't and guess what? They came after the children and had orders to deport them with or with out the parent. I know that sounds cruel, but guess what? They don't care.
If you have to leave the country then you must either leave them here with family members, or take them with you. I know of a person who had to send her children back to the Philippines until things were straightened out for them. It was a sacrafice, but she had to do it, and now they're all here together. Good Luck
