The best thing for an undocumented immigrant to do is to establish legal residence as soon as possible. This can be done by applying for a temporary non-immigrant visa, or starting the process of becoming a permanent resident or citizen through other immigration channels. There may also be programs or policies offered by local governments that could provide protection and relief from deportation, such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. An experienced immigration attorney should be consulted to better understand available options and make the best case possible.
