Well I have read a lot of what everyone has to say and to me it is all good advice but most of it I am not sure applies to my situation so I will just spill it and hope someone might have the answers I need.
I am a Canadian citizen but have been living in the USA for the past 9 years. I originally came here because I was offered a job with my 2 kids and the company I was hired by at the time said they would do all the necessary forms to have me work for them. Once I arrived They changed their minds so I was out of a job and basically had no money through friends here I found someone who was willing to hire me (under the table ) and worked for them for 5 years going back and forth to Canada to visit even sending my kids back and forth to visit with no mishaps.I met someone here and we have been living together for the past 5 years and now plan to marry. My daughter who just turned 18 returned to Canada for a visit on her way back to the States she was stopped at customs and held for over 4 hours and questioned and then told she was not allowed to enter the states and told her passport was flagged. She was told if she attempted to enter the states she would be arrested and go to jail. We are at a loss at what to do now. How to get her here. and what steps to take in order to fix this. Any advice would be helpful. Do we get an immigration lawyer? or is there another way to handle this. I have a great life here and wish not to change it if i do not have to.

Thanks
J
