Hello, I have a friend who has a b2 visa, she has visited the US 3 times, a month before her I-94 expired, her bf proposed her to marry him. She decided to stay here the 6 months because her parents died in a car accident so she came here to be with him, she is only 19, and she didn't have anybody there...3 months after being here, she decided to start an English class in the Felix Varela high school, and Miami dade college, she only gave her ID...and also she was looking for a job to forget about everything that has happened...in the practice they told her to file another application and she said she didn't have a SS...they told her that they were to put one (temporary), she didn't like it so she left, and didn't finish the 2 other days of practice and didn't pay for the briefcase to work, she didn't start to work, just left.and do not sign the contract. only the first application to see if the hired and the second in practice to the briefcase and instructions. she got married 2 months after being out of status, if something goes wrong she is going to live in australia with her husband...but she's a little worried, about the classes and work, everybody tells her that is she left just in the practice they didn't put the SS, and that the classes are not registered because she only gave her id...so if somebody here has an opinion, is much appreciated.

From what I understand, she should not have anything to worry about. Maybe someone with more definite information can respond. It has been stated many times in this forum that USCIS cannot use things such as working and being out of status to deny the AOS when it is based on a bona fide marriage.

As long as she did not claim to be a US citizen when she enrolled in High School or applying for a job, she should not encounter any problems at AOS.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

not when she entered to the college and high school for english classes she only gave her ID which one said (temporary)...and when she apply for work...she just put her info, no SS...then they told they hired her...she had to have 3 days of practice, she told them that she didn't have a SS number, they told her that they were to put a temporary number and then she left, she didn't start to work...neither finished the day of practice nor sign any contract...but she was a little worried because if she even left the 1st day of practice they could put a SS number...but everybody told her no.

Thank you so much!!!

and how do you claim to be an USC?

some persons without status will claim to be a USC, sometimes using fraudulently obtained SS# or documents, or will report that they are on school or job applications. if caught they face a lifetime ban.

Sarah,

just a shooter already gave the correct answer, but since this is such an important topic, let me get more into it. As a side note, it's also interesting in regard to the up-and-coming Arizona anti immigration law.

When somebody in the US registers for school, college, university, some public services, financial assistance, or simply a job, the form they have to fill out often asks either:

"Are you a resident of the State of xxx' or 'are you legally allowed to work in this country' or something similar.

Oftentimes, forms ask: are you a US citizen? If not, please fill in your A number or visa number or provide proof of legal presence.

If somebody doesn't have a "workable" status, all they would have to do is mark 'US citizen' and that's it. The problem, however, is that this would be misrepresentation which is a really bad thing that can haunt those who did it for the rest of their life.

Ok my friend doesn't remember so much and she said when she applied for english class in high school she wrote "tourist"...and gave her ID...

when college for english class...she said I'm not a US citizen or a permanent resident so they said then do not put anything...

and applying for work...she doesn't remember what the application says...she was looking for it online...on "carico" and there was nothing that says US citizen...permanent resident...nothing...she never marked nothing about being a US citizen or LPR...can they mark it for her? also, she never started to work...she went only the 1st day of practice and she left.
