K1-Have you ever violated the terms of a U.S. visa, or been unlawfully present in, or deported from, the United States?

Sorry Jim,

disagreeing with you here.

Yes, she was unlawfully present. But since she cannot be held responsible for the actions of her parents, unlawful presence is not being recorded until the child becomes an adult. Thus, stating it is the right way to do, but it will have no adverse effect on the petition.

wow its a lot more answers than i thought it would be such a debating subject. so you guys might think im dumb but using common sense, i should just put yes and because she was a minor they wont even consider it since it also was before that law went into effect in 1997. im afraid that IOs wont know that about minors and deny her because she was still here, =(. is it a good idea to take a copy of that law??
