Millions of undocumented people are living in the United States and wish to obtain a legal status.
If an undocumented person is discovered to be undocumented by the United States government, he/she will, in most cases, be sent to an immigration court and deported. If deported for non-legal status, he/she may face a bar of up to ten (10) years before he/she could legally apply to gain legal status in the United States.
If, instead, he/she is able to return to his/her home country of his/her own accord, he/she can apply for legal status to the United States through one of the many ways it can be obtained, and may face a waiting period of a year or less to obtain legal status.
Currently, there is no path to citizenship that allows an undocumented person to stay in the United States, except for a person who is seeking asylum. Asylum is available for those persons who are in or out of this country, here legally or illegally, who have fled or intend to flee their home country due to a well founded fear of persecution should they return or remain in their home country. The fear of persecution must be well founded and based on race, religion, political opinion, or association with a particular social group as well as other conditions.
