 Novelette Simone Bell is 26 years old and has been in the United States since the age of five. Unfortunately of no fault of her own, she was brought here illegally. Although she attended and completed 12 years of school and received remarkable grades she was not able to attend college, work, drive or become a productive member of society due to her status. The immigration law requires that your status be adjusted before the age of 18 however, she aged out when she learned about this option. The necessary applications were not filed for her so she is currently classified as "illegal." Ms. Bell has no immediate blood relatives in the United States to petition for her. Due to the fact that her parents never formally adopted her she needs your help.
  Novelette will be bringing her case to immigration officials to fight at a chance to be heard. She is submitting this petition to those who have grown up with her, friends and or family to sign and stand in agreement with her. Please take a stand and support her in her cause.

She deserves to be a citizen just like everyone else, she was put into this situation at a disadvantage and is persevering through it all with knowledge

This girl has been here her whole life. Its not fair to punish her for something she had no control over when she was a kid.
