"Kidnapping people, separating them from their family, locking them in prison and then exiling them from the country? That's a horrible thing to do! Unless of course they happen to have not done some paperwork correctly and were born on the other side of this line we drew in the dirt, then its just common sense." /s

    • If you leave the US your process is cancelled.
    • If you don't show up to the 3 random court calls in time your process is cancelled.
    • Court takes place in the USA.
    • You are not a legal citizen in the USA until you finish all the courts.

    Additionally.

    • You aren't allowed to have a job until you pay a fee and wait 6-12 months for the EAD.
    • You still pay taxes and can't vote.
