Hello!
A friend of mine is in a unique situation. She is in the US on an F1 visa, and is applying for a green card based on her older daughter's status (older daughter was born in the US and is a US citizen).
The tricky part is that she has a younger daughter who is not a US citizen, and is currently on F2 status, tied to my friend's F1 visa. Her lawyer just informed her that her younger daughter will be out of status when she gets the green card, and would have to go back to her country (Morocco) or be enrolled into a school so she can get her own F1 visa (which would incur a substantial cost). That seems a bit strange to me, and so I wanted to check if anyone has any insight into this scenario, and any suggestions how the younger daughter can remain with the family in the US without incurring a high financial cost.
Thanks in advance for your help.
