Evo Pehlic, a Latvian citizen, first came into the US in September of 1985. He entered the United States as a derivative of his father’s student visa. He was able to acquire his social security number, and he attended school as a derivative. He was born in 1983, and he always believed he was a US Citizen. His father later received a work visa, and he became a derivative of that application. In 2004, He turned 21, and he was no longer a derivative of his father’s visa. He returned to Latvia to attempt to apply for a tourist visa. He was granted a tourist visa, and he was able to enter the United States in 2006. He stayed from 2006-2010, and he left to vacation in Mexico. When he returned, one of the individuals in the car claimed they were all U.S. Citizens. He was allowed to enter. He later had a child born in the US in 2011. When the child turns 21, will Evo be able to acquire residency? How many, if any, areas of inadmissibility does Evo have? What are they? Are there waivers available for these areas of inadmissibility? If so, what is the standard? If not, explain why not
