How to leave US. expired passport and tourist visa.?
my life is pretty meaningless right now. i can't work, go to school, have any means of transportation...
can i just show up at a local immigration office, so they can detain me and send me back to brazil?
i came here when i was 11 years old... but i'm wasting my life away, not being able to do anything with it.
i'm desperate.
at least i can go back to brazil speaking english fluently and having some knowledge of computers...
thanks for any help.
Answer:
If you can't sneak out, you gotta report yourself. you know those are the only two options. You're worse off for waiting until these times.
Part of CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) is the DREAM Act, which is a proposal that would allow people to legalize who were brought here as children - NOT THEIR CHOICE - and basically grew up in the US if they have kept their noses clean (so to speak). Its based on the concept that these people did not choose to violate immigration law and are culturally American, having spent their formative years here. After all, "American" is not an ethnic group and we define ourselves culturally, not ethnically.
I recommend you wait and see what happens with CIR as you will not be able to take advantage of it if you return to Brazil at this time.
You've got the right idea. You need to voluntarily deport yourself. By doing so you'll avoid the 10 year ban on returning that will be applied if they catch you.
Turn yourself into the CIS. Since you're not fighting deportation they'll send you back in a jiffy.
Best of luck.
Yes bye
