What is the name of your state? Illinois
I will give a brief description of the situation before I ask my question...
A mother came to the United States through inspection, though now she is Illegal since her visa expired 8 or 9 years ago. Her two children came to the states Illegally, no inspection. The mother has now married a US citizen and has done all the work to get her self a permanent resident status, her case is still Pending, even though, at the end of her interview she was told she will have the Green Card in mail in a few weeks(This was 6 months ago) She has yet to get it. The US Citizen has filed for the two children for permanent status. They had to go to Warsaw for their interview, having to leave their mother, and step-father. The interview was in July of 2007. The kids are still out in Europe, on their own. The mother cannot leave the states because she is a major part of the Income in the family, and if she left, with her status still pending she wouldn't be allowed to come back, thus losing everything she owns because her husband wouldn't be able to pay for it all on his own.
Now my question is..
Is it right, by law, for the US government to keep an under aged child away from her parents for this long?
Is there anything that can be done?
