La “presencia ilegal” ocurre cuando una persona está en los Estados Unidos sin un estatus migratorio, como si ingresa al país sin documentos o quedarse mas que un estatus migratorio permitir y permanezca en los Estados Unidos.
“Unlawful presence” occurs when a person is in the United States without an immigration status, whether that be after entering the country without documents or allowing a valid immigration status to expire and remaining in the United States. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, there are few exceptions to accumulating unlawful presence.
While some people have received their receipts, it is not unusual to have to wait two-three months at minimum to get receipts. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) will continue to monitor this situation.
