A limited exception is if you proceed through the "cancellation of removal" route. But this is very hard to win.
It's actually a friend of mine who was in States for the last 15 yrs. He has two sons who were born in this country. They are 13/6. Unfortunately my friend was illigal & was caught by the immigration & was in immigration jail for one month. From jail he asked for volunteer departure & was deported to his country. Immigration didn't bother his wife although she was illigal too. But after his deportation his wife & two sons all left for backhome. As I mentioned in my post his son (13) is not completely normal. While they were here he was in grade 7 but had to take special courses.
Now my question is since his son in US citizen they can come to States anytime but what if he wants to apply for his mom/dad? I know you have to be atleast 18 yrs of age to be considered adult & than apply but since he has some problem can he get any special consideration?
I know as asylees USCIS don't care about us but my friend's son he is an US citizen. Therefore I was just wondering immigration could offer him an option.
nasrmobin said:no because they knew that, immigrants are reallly smart. So you have to be atleast 18 years old to be able to apply for anyone else. Nice question though.
No--the kid has to be 21, NOT 18. See INA 201(b)(2)(A)(i)

Where to find that INA 201(b)(2)(A)(i) ? What is that anyway?
nothing can be done now
I am not sure what you meant by "is not completely normal." But if the kid has some kind of medical or mental issues, a good attorney could have done something for your friend BEFORE he left the country. If he had been in the country for ten years and proved to an immigration judge that his deportation would result in extreme and unusual hardship to his citizen child, the judge would waive the deporation and award him a green card right away. Usually we have the best chance of success if we have citizen children with health problems.
But nothing can be done now as he is no longer in the country.

I am sure you can google this. This section sets out the legal eligibility to immigrate to the United States!!!!!!
I will paste the text for you shortly.
