She could request a cancellation of deportation. Right now, she's clearly deportable and will be forever if she doesn't do something. If she does not have an immediate relative who can petition for her, she might want to request cancellation of deportation.
If the Immigration Judge determines that the alien has met his or her burden, the removal proceedings will be cancelled, resulting in the granting of legal permanent residence to the alien.
If the she is not in removal proceedings but believes that she may be eligible for cancellation of removal, then she can request that the US ICE serve her with a Notice to Appear and then transfer the case to the Immigration Court.
Then she should prepare and file form EOIR 42 B or EOIR 42 A, together with the US Immigration Service filing fee, with the Immigration Court.
She's going to need documents that prove her time of residency and unusual hardship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (others may apply as well).
Evidence that the alien has resided in the U.S. for at least ten years. These may include copies of tax filings.
Police reports from every jurisdiction the alien has resided in
School records of alien's U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident child
Medical Records or evidence of physical ailments of the immediate relative that would establish “extreme hardship" (if applicable)
Therapy Records or Psychiatrist/Psychology Reports on effects of removal of family member on U.S. citizen or permanent resident (if available)
Evidence of the alien's home country conditions that may result in exceptional hardship to the qualifying relative.

tell her to leave before she is 18 1/2.seriously.then she can apply for residency or a visa.but after 18 1/2 years old she is the going to get the ban for being here illegally.only other option at this point in the law is if her parents or a brother/sister over 21(or is it 18?) are citizen/PR they can petition for her.or the other way is through marriage but not advisable.

Marry an American citizen!
For Loquitaa, down under:
I am not the result of an amnesty and I have never been illegal a minute in that country, nor did I marry a US citizen.
I just say that because that is the only way now to become legal here, unless you want to wait a few decades outside for an hypothetical visa or to win The Lottery...
As for the law, I have a friend who married a US citizen (They are in love) 3 years ago and he got his Green Card and a great job.

She needs to go to the American consulate in the country in which she is a legal citizen and apply for a visa to be in this country legally. If it is approved, she can legally live here and after the requisite # of years of legal residence, she can apply for permanent residency.

Youn young babies cant proportion nicely and could take carry of issues removed from others, they'll learn in time and instructions nevertheless and neither could be allowed to pass on with out anybody interfering. So like in the experience that your daughter takes their blanket or a toy away only take it lower back and tell her its different young babies turn and he or she gets a turn in a momen. Hitting and pushing could by no potential be allowed and the baby could be recommended so in any different case it's going to easily worsen because of the fact the time is going by potential of. tell your pal which you cant have her boys bullying your daughter ( fairly the three y previous, thats unacceptable, the single 12 months previous remains somewhat youthful and needs to get carry of a sprint slack yet additionally direction and dicipline so he knows what he's permitted and to not do) . in the event that they shop on beating her then you certainly only cant have them over for a on a similar time as.. sorry.. you dont desire o issue your daughter on beatings in order that which you would be able to capture up inclusive of your pal. Now are you staring at those young babies? while you're then you certainly only would desire to grant her 2 weeks word and tell her to discover yet another babysitter

Frenchrina: There is no amnesty anymore. Bush did away with it when he became president.
Unfortunately to become legal she would probably have to go back to what ever country she was brought here from, And file for papers to come here legally. Even if she has never known the country, or speak their language or know anyone there. Or else she would have to try and wait it out till some laws change in her favor. Which may or may not happen in 1 to 100 years.
It's unfortunate that parents would make a choice, that could end up in that type of situation
People, if you are in the states illegally to begin with you can not marry and get residency or citizenship anymore. This ended in 2001. No amnesty.

Mother of Jordan and Jaslin is right. Until she turns 18, she doesn't have accrued illegal presence that will be counted against her.
Right now there is nothing that she can do to become legal while in the US. She will have to leave and try to come back on a visa of some sort.
Loquitaamericana: there is a way to become legal even when you are illegal and it's not amnesty. It's called the I601 waiver which allows the immediate relative of the immigrant to prove that without their spouse/family member, they would be in extreme hardship. The immigrant has to go back to their home country and file from there.
