Legal Question in Immigration Law in North Carolina
I130
My parents are permanent residents who filed I 130's for my sisters 7 years ago. The girls were already here on a visitor's visa, and we did not know they had to leave until someone recently told us they were not allowed to be in the country, as it would jeopardize their ability to get numbers. Does this mean they have to leave? Will they be allowed back considering how long they were here without us knowing this was not allowed?
