    What does legal status mean exactly? Is that like a permanent resident or some kind of work residency? What legal status is common for a 18 year old? Just trying to understand what exactly is being revoked.

      Could be a lot of things. Could be a tourist visa, student visa, H1B, green card, probably a mess of other things I’m not aware of. Some kind of “You’re not a citizen, but it’s legal for you to be in the United States” paperwork.

      I’d expect that the 18 year old is probably attached to her parents’ status.
