Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
Becoming a permenant resident
If someone from Canada has lived in the U.S. continuously since 1968, do they qualify for some kind of amnesty, or do they qualify for duo residency under some kind of grandfather clause? They also have a social security card which they applied for & got in 1967 with answering place of birth as Canada. They have worked, paid taxes and have a social security read out of wages earned for certain years using this card. They would like to go back & forth to Canada without any legal problems. Please help!
thank you

Re: Becoming a permenant resident
It appears you could qualify for registry if you've indeed, lived in the U.S. continuously since that time. It's a special provision in the Immigration Act for certain longtime residents, and not well-known at all.
However, the application has to be done carefully, and I highly you utilize professional help from an attorney. Otherwise, it will be extremely time-consuming and lengthy.
