Kid needs Help

[tsokonut 0]

This is for a Friend :

I have a friend whose got a Cerebral Palsy and currently he is staying in the US out of status.

He's parents came here from a middle eastern country 90's when he was only couple of months old to seek medical attention. According to his relative who are USC his parents were immigrants who chose to go back to there hometown. The boy was then left here and was place in foster homes for care , until He turned 21 y/o he got cut off with medical privileges. They tried to petition him through his relative when he wasn't over age yet but no one follow-through. So now he's over 21 y/o with nowhere to go. Where should he and his relatives start? THANKS

From what you say I assume that the parents abandoned their child here and have no interest in taking any responsibility.

I would think an immigration attorney with experience in this type of case would be needed.

What kind of relatives does he have in the USA? If they are close, they may be able to petition for him, but I agree with PP, this is a case for a lawyer due to the medical issues and time he's been out-of-status.

perhaps his country of origin should be billed for all of his medical and residential expenses since entry, since his parents don't seem willing to pay the bill. a damn shame it has come out of my pocket, instead.

kinda like "taking an unwanted puppy for a ride to the country". nice people.

I feel for him, i don't think its his fault it just got out of hand. Anyway, so what he needs is a REAL GOOD LAWYER to start with... My question now is how much chance does he have? thanks

There should be some sort of humanitarian visa he could apply for but I have no idea where to begin. Obviously with his medical condition and his age at the time of arrival in the US returning to his country would not be possible.

I wish him all the luck in the world.
