Ok I will try and lay all the info I know.
Friend is a USC and his wife is an Australian citizen.
He is a war time veteran.
Her and her 3 children came to this country about 3+ years ago on a visitors visa which was good for 3 months and never left.
He has legally adopted all 3 children. As far as the courts are concerned he is now considered their biological father and he is getting BC's from the state. Does that automatically make them USC?
She read somewhere that because he is a war time veteran she cannot be deported but was unable to confirm. Anyone know if there is truth to this?
She obviously doesn't have a green card and isn't supposed to be working in this country. Do they need to go through the normal IR1 process for her to become legal? Will there be issues? I know that she won't go back to Australia to wait for this to process, how will that play out?
As soon as he has the BC's from the state he will get them SSN numbers. Does he need to do anything with the kids?
This is a very weird case and I'm not 100% on where he should go from here. Thanks for any help.
