[General] I have a friend who works in

[Silverobama]

I told a friend in Australia the one of my friends who got vaccinated and I wrote:

I have a friend who works in the custom office got vaccinated two weeks ago.

I wonder if the italic sentence is natural and grammatical. She's working at a place like the border to check people who are coming back from abroad. I don't know how to say that in English. Also, I don't know if the rest of the sentence is natural.

Your first sentence is ungrammatical, Silver. Please fix that first.

I have a friend who works in Immigration who got vaccinated two weeks ago.

 

[Silverobama]

Rover, I don't think my friend works in Immigration though. She's working in border crossings and what she needs to do is to check the identity and things about people who want to cross the border.

I have a friend who works in the customs office who got vaccinated two weeks ago.

I wonder if the second "who" is okay to be omitted.

I wonder if the second "who" [STRIKE]is okay to[/STRIKE] can be omitted.

No. It cannot.

That's what Immigration Officers do. Customs Officers check goods.

International border crossings are staffed by immigration officers. The process and procedure is labelled 'Immigration'.

Customs officers check that incoming travellers are not bringing unpermitted goods into the country. That section is labelled 'Customs'.

Your friend's work sounds more like an immigration job, though he/she might be a customs official temporarily redeployed for the duration of the emergency.

Silver, it's in Australia, right? Then am I right to assume that your friend works at an airport?

 

[Maybo]

No. It cannot.

Why?

 

[jutfrank]

Omitting it would be ungrammatical. The phrase who got vaccinated two weeks ago is a defining relative clause. The relative pronoun who, which is functioning as subject in the clause, is necessary.

Is my following sentence correct?

1. A girl who studies in ABC school who is crying.

Is my following sentence correct?

1. A girl who studies in ABC school who is crying.

No. It's not a sentence because it lacks a main verb. Do you mean this? A girl who studies at the ABC School is crying.

 

[Maybo]

Yes. I see. OP's sentence has I have so the second who is needed.

 

[Silverobama]

Silver, it's in Australia, right? Then am I right to assume that your friend works at an airport?

It's in China. She's working in Shenzhen, the border close to HongKong.

Just to make sure I got it.

1. I saw a girl who studies at the ABC School who is crying. (Is it correct?)

If I take out the girl's part, I need to restructure it as:
2. A girl who studies at the ABC School is crying.

The underlined part in #1 is a defining relative clause but it is not in #2?

I don't know grammar well enough to answer the last question. Jutfrank, who does, liked your post; I take that as a "yes, you're right."

 

[GoesStation]

Would it be correct to say that the underlined part in #1 is a defining relative clause but it is not in #2?

See above.
