They called my office and contacted my caseworker, whose name is

The law is very clear. Tereza Lee from Korea is undocumented. She is in
the United States. Although she is now 17 or 18 years old, she never

of America, the recourse is for her to return to the last country she
was in--Brazil--to wait 10 years, and apply to come back to the United
States--10 years.
