    Default Getting Legal

    A lady I know as been on US for ten years now and has got three children.
    Are they a way to get legal and how? What steps would she need to take?
    Thanks for any answers.

    You need to be more specific.

    She entered illegally? Did she marry a citizen? Were here children born here?

    Then there is no way for her to "get legal" until one of her children turns 21 and is able to petition for a green card on her behalf.

    Somewhere prior to that, she'll need to return to her homeland and wait until she can enter legally.

    Her situation currently is that if the authorities catch her, she can be deported. There's no fix for that at the moment - amnesty expired years ago.
