(i'm ressurecting this)
OK.
So I finally got in touch with my mother's lawyer.
Whats weird: even tho she was not sent a denial letter of denial, when they requested her case from immigration, there was a notice of denial in her file! She has never received any paper work from USCIS or whoever of the sort.
The lawyer recommended she file I-212, then she'll be in the US for 10 years, but not til next July (she came to the US in July 1999).
I read about the I-212 waiver. Which would could she file? Would she have to come back to Jamaica?
Thanks.
