If you do nothing, maybe one day you could qualiify for legalization if such a law were ever passed. But given the very large budget to remove people from the U.S. - 10 times the amount as what was available just 10 years ago - it's quite possible that people who are not lawfully in the US may all be removed from the U.S. instead.

Right now, there is aggressive enforcement of immigration law with many people leaving the U.S. I wouldn't count on an amnesty or similar law.

The above is general information and not legal advice. It does not form an attorney client relationship. For further information, feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 818 609 1953.
