if you go to mexico and come back you are able to get in again on another 3 month visa waiver-remove your green form as thats all they do when ou exit customs at the airport and just say you've been travelling on mexcio for a while- nobody checks on the way out.

No, I don't think they should go unchallenged if they want to stay. Now if they want to come for a short visit...( 2 seconds ) then leave, fine. But no. We have our own AMERICAN problems to deal with without them ILLEGALS adding to them. There are AMERICAN children and elders ( who by the way worked hard to pave the way for our generation and generations to come) that are going to bed hungry and having to choose between food and proper medical care while these ILLEGALS are corrupting and taking advantage of the system that should be catering to the above mentioned.  And I am sick to death of having to press #1 on the phone if I want to hear the message in ENGLISH. It should be ENGLISH by default.

Well, the American person can re-enter whenever since that one is an American citizen. As for the Canadian, that one can come in on a travel vise, but can't work unless that person has a sponsor or is married to an American.\n\nAs for phone numbers, this is a good place to start:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/NCSC.htm

they need border crossing visa called laser visa which is for life until revoked, but if going deeper into the US beyond a 28 mile distance from the border then a tourist visa

It doesn't matter if he stayed for a short time in the US, what matters is not ot stay outside of the US for longer than 6 monthes, some experts say 1 year but no body knows when the new law will be applied so to make sure, he should not stay outside of the US for more than 6 monthes.

It is a difficult question, but many of them could probably qualify for resident alien status, if not outright citizenship.  The fact is that their parents put them in this unfair situation by bringing them here illegally.  Perhaps there should be an easier way to enter the country legally, but if you enter as a criminal, you should be treated as a criminal.

No, what you do in other countries that is stil legal stays in those countries. Unless you violate any laws inside the U.S. they cannot arrest you.

Good question.  I'd like to hear some good reasons why they think it is acceptable too. Personally I don't think there is ANY valid argument that will fly for coming here illegally.  I'll check back.  Thanks for asking.

They need to have COMPELLING evidence that they will go back to their country of origin and leave the US. Compelling evidence can include work (so proof of employment), school (school records and ID).\n\nI suggest they start to contact the US embassy in their country. In some countries like the Philippines, you have to call to set up and appointment for interview, which can be as long as 4 months from the time you call (and yes, when you call, you pay for the call in dollars). I am not sure what the procedure for applying for US visa in your country but check it out including the amount they need to pay per person.\n\nIf the US Consul is as strict as they are in the Philippines, they need to be  able to articulate well their reasons for going and provide supporting evidence that they will leave the US.\n\nIt is HARD to get tourist visa, especially if you have relations in the US because the immigration officials think that you already have someone who will support you even if you become an illegal immigrant.

You can't.  Entry to the US under the Visa Waiver Program precludes your applying for an extension of stay or change of status.

If you want them to visit, they need to apply for a travel visa at the embassy/consulate in India. You will need to supply a letter of invitation, stating the purpose of their visit and length of stay. Time frames vary but usually once the visas are issued they are usually good for 5-10 years(allowing them to visit frequently during that time). If you want them to live here, you must submit a "relative" petition. However, I believe you must become a naturalized citizen first. You are entitled to "naturalize" after a 5 yr waiting period, unless you became a resident through marriage to a US citizen, then the wait is only 3 years. Check with INS to be sure-they have everything on their web sites. Just be ready for a long wait-your parents don't have the same "priority" within the relative petition boundaries as say someone who marries a US citizen. The wait can be upwards of 10-15 years, because of quota restrictions of any given country.

They are in other countries because,some people want to pass under the water,and even inside the bush to united states.So the government decided to put the immigration officer to every country connected to united states.And before you can come here,i mean to united states,you have to go to the immigration's office to obtain your passport and some other necessary document in order to come to united states.

They don't have ownership but legally, anyone who stays 14 nights out of sixty nights is considered a tenant. So technically after two weeks they were legally allowed to be there. You can have them evicted if you own the house yourself. But they still are entitled to thirty more days of stay before they have to leave.\n\nI know this is the case in north carolina, and it is generally the same in all US states. check with your police department. they can tell you everything you need to know if you want them out.

Yes and no. Amnesty is not for all visitors. If you overstay a student visa or a visitors visa you may not get amnesty. It depends on the law being passed. It's not amnesty for all. Sometimes it's amnesty for people who came to the US before a certain year, or people who entered under a student visa and then worked which violates their visa. Essentially if varies. Most likely Bush's current proposal won't help you.

Sure they can.  All they have to do is give up their American citizenship, which is usually the end of it.

Illegal immigrants are not Criminials. They have not committed crime. They simply entered the country without valid visa.or authority to cross the border. The entry can be legalized by authentication of their entry in the country. It is thus clear that they are not ciminals except that they have entered the country without valid permission.
