Re: My friend needs help!!

What documents are you referring to? A green card? If so, I do not really see the initial fraud as his problem. The problem is that he has accrued unlawful presence ever since he turned 18. You are right that he should be concerned about deportation. There are some forms of relief that he might be able to pursue, depending on the circumstances. Please feel free to contact me & I'll be happy to provide you with more detailed information. Jeff Bloom
