Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
Not my area of expertise, but if there's a question mark over whether AOS is possible, would it not be 'safer' for the OP's daughter to return to the UK to apply for her IR-1?

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
IMO definitely. It will be the cheapest (no legal fees), easiest and most stress-free way, and might even, start-to-end, be the quickest way. It's just that she'd be back in the UK while her visa was processed.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
It definitely was not intentional, I paid for her to come over for a vacation after not seeing her for 5 years. Her dad later said to her that she could stay if she wants. Right now I'm getting the impression she's been dumped on my doorstep with a "have a nice life" from her father.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
Good idea, yes. Anyone know of a good lawyer? I might need one for this hurdle. I didn't need one for my own, I got through it with this group and a lot of researching. Thank you.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
If you mean a lawyer for getting the legal permission from her dad, search for a family lawyer.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
Rete already gave a not half-bad answer. Other than perhaps a few nits, it is a good answer.

Also, "pre-conceived intent" is not fraud.

Not impossible though, my younger son has managed to get full scholarship on the basis of his SATs and APs. He was 15 when we moved.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
How long has she been here and what is she doing for school now? Did she take time out of school in the UK to come here?

The majority of people diy, obviously if you have issues a Lawyer is a good idea, some people find the forms difficult and advice also might help, but it is not that difficult.

Re: AOS for permanent resident's daughter
She hasn't been here long. Yes she took time out of school to come here. I've been trying to contact our school district to find out how to enroll her for school so at least she can get her education without too much of a gap.
