You need to get information about her immigration status. How did she enter, visa, EWI? Did she overstay? Was anything ever filed for her prior to April 30, 2001? Any arrests charged or convictions? Get this information and consult with an experienced immigration attorney to review her options here in the US or if she will need to file for the immigrant visa and waiver at her home consulate.
