Re: immigration question...urgent

This is not a legal concept in immigration law. In
ordinary language, you speak not of 1st gen
immigrants, but simply of immigrants. You speak of 1st
gen Americans -- you daughter, my grandparents, except
for my paternal grandmother, who was an immigrant,
born in Russian Poland. I am a 3d gen AMerican, born
to 2d gen Americans (mostly). jks
