I would love to do that, but the thing is, I don't have the money for it. So, if anyone on here would like to lend a helping hand, and give me some advice with my situation, I would appreciated it alot.
 
Look, just because someone is on a public forum doesn't mean that they automaticly don't know law. I will take the advice you gave on trying to find a free lawyer, but for now, I'm still looking for advice from someone knowledgeble in immigration law, on here.
 
Aiight, my situation is that I'm currently waiting on a i-130 relative petition that was filed by mother, a permenant resident; and I want to see if there is anyway that I can travel abroad and come back to this country. In a few months, I'm planning on re-entering college. I'm not sure if I can do a study abroad program with my current status. Do you think there is any hope of me traveling abroad and being permited back under my current situation?

You don't think that the fact that you're in school, and the reason you left is for schooling purpose would be taken into consideration? Also, do they not take a student visa as a form of status. And, I've heard of people that arrived here with visas, had a family member file for them, left the country, and then re-entered after the petition filed for them was approved.
 
1.) Do you have a lawful status at this time ?

2.) Did you maintain a lawful status throughout your entire stay in the US ?

If the answer to both of these questions is YES:
You could dare to leave the country and try to re-enter with a F1 student visa. Yes, technically the immigration or consular officer can use your immigration intent expressed with the I130 filing to deny your visa (or entry), but in reality there are plenty of people who have pending I130s and travel back and forth on B1/B2 or F1 without problems (some of them for >10 years, e.g. philipinos who had their siblings file for them). But there is no guarantee. If they want to deny your entry, it is within their powers to do so. Then you would need an H1b or L1 to return as these allow immigration intent.

If the answer to one of these questions is NO:
DO NOT LEAVE THE US WITHOUT TALKING TO A KNOWLEDGEABLE IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY. Depending on the circumstances, you might already have a 3 or 10 year re-entry ban on your record. If your moms petition was filed before 4/30/01 AND you have proof that you were in the country on 12/21/2000, you might still be able to become a permanent resident. If not, you are out of luck.
 
Thanks for the info. We received her petition on September of 2002, and up till now it hasn't been approved. I'm asking this because I met someone, that lives in another country, online a year ago. We fell deeply in love, shared picks, have been talking on the phone for long, talked with cam, and I want to live with her in her country, but at the same time, I also want to be able to come back here and visit my family. With the amount of time they are taking to process my mothers petition, I don't know if I will be able to live over there with her any time soon. She's currently 30, and we want to have kids, but if it takes as long as it's supposed to take for me to be able to leave and re enter, I don't know if we will ever have that chance to be together. It really hurts me because I didn't do anything to be here; I was brought here by my family, have been here for nearly 14 years, and I haven't done anything wrong, I've been a lawful person while I'm here , yet I may not be able to be with the person I love most because of Immigration. It's getting to the point where I will have to make the decision between my family and her because if I leave to be with her, I may not be able to see my family for 10 year, and possibly never.
