Popis: This chapter focuses on the US citizen daughters of undocumented Ecuadorian immigrants to the US. The information reported comes from a moment in time when one or both parents of these US citizen children has emerged from hiding in order to attempt to gain legal residential status in the United States. As described in our earlier work (Stutman & Brady-Amoon, 2011), a psychological hardship evaluation indicating their citizen children would experience extreme and unusual psychological hardship if this attempt is unsuccessful may support an application for change of status for one or both parents that keeps the family together. This is a time of great stress because it requires that the family risk deportation as these legal proceedings may turn against them.
