Sometimes one can get lost in a sea of information and that is what happened to me. My wife and her 2 younger children are currently waiting for their permanent green card approvals. In the meantime, her oldest daughter, along with her granddaughter set out on an 'adventure'. Try to follow this as I will attempt to explain. The daughter (who was residing in Colombia), was dating a man from the UK for 2 years. They decided to get married so she sold all her possessions and came to the US with a tourist visa, (both her and her daughter). She wanted to visit her mother before moving to London to live with her then fiancé. The man was to meet them here in the US and take them to London to live and eventually get married. When 'Mr. Wonderful' arrived here, he got cold feet and took off for London leaving the daughter and the granddaughter here in the US. So the question is what does the daughter have to do to get her status changed? She arrived here legally and I'm certainly not going to send them off with only their proverbial 'hat-in-their-hand'. (Yes they are living with me!) I know of others who came here under 'questionable circumstances' so I hope her resolution is a lot easier. Any guidance/direction is greatly appreciated.
