Immigration Site

She came to US with student VISA and she graduated. She was able to convert to H1-B work VISA and got a job for about 4 to 5 years, then got laid off. Now, she couldnt get a job in her field as they are all requiring green card. Her H1-B status expired, and now working in restaurants as a waitress.

She met a guy (US citizen), thought as her dream man, but turns out married. She got pregnant and had a son. I understand that her child is US citizen, but is there anything that can be done to help her to get her green card or some sort of permanent resident status?

Thanks.

She undoubtedly has too much unlawful presence and unauthorized employment to get a new work visa (immigrant or non-immigrant). Only an Immediate Relative of a USC (spouse, parent or unmarried child under 21) can adjust in a situation like that. A USC must be 21 to petition for a parent or sibling.

If she leaves the U.S. she cant come back for 10 years.

Barring finding another unmarried US citizen dream man, her only option is to wait for her son to turn 21.

I understand that her child is US citizen, but is there anything that can be done to help her to get her green card or some sort of permanent resident status?

Because of her actions, her chances of being granted a new H1B are really low to non-existent.
