Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Re: Residency for illegal imigrants

Well, that might be impossible under the law as currently written. If you have no family or employment or asylum options; there is another very risky option available to you in five years. It is called cancellation of removal. You announce your illegal presence to USCIS, and after being 'arrested' you petition the judge for permanent residence based upon your good moral character, your continuous presence in the US for 15 years and the extreme hardship to your family. Talk to an experienced immigration lawyer before exercising any of these options.
