My dad came here with a regular visa at first, established a business, bought a house and got a work visa. We extended that for some time and were working on getting green card papers and then lawyers who were taking care of this, messed some stuff up and we got declined for a green card. With this said I've been here since I was 13. Now I'm 24. Not to be racist or anything but I'm white, and look american-ish. My English is perfect. I finished high school and college here so I don't think just by looking at me anyone would suspect that I'm an immigrant.
