The problem is, when you are living somewhere illegally, you get no more status if you've done it for 20 years than if you'd done it for a year.

Without knowing her situation, it's hard to say if she has some options left. She can talk to the MP of her district and so can you. You can talk to an immigration lawyer as well. If you can't afford one, you can talk to some immigrant/newcomer centres who might have access to one.
