Let's see if i can recap my horrible legal status in one post.
I was brought here illegally as a child by my parents. My mother became a resident in the 1986 amnesty if i am not mistaken. Brought me here in 1992. After i was here, she petitioned for me. Years later i was granted an employment authorization card and a Social security card.
We received a letter by immigration requesting all the financial documentation they usually request. A couple of months later we received a dreadful letter telling us my application was denied based on my mother's low income.
That was around 1999 when i was 18 years old. After that i never tried to do anything else for fear of being deported. I am now 23 years old, employed full time. Pay taxes with the social security number given to me at the time.
I am now looking for a good inmigration lawyer to guide me as what can i do. Can my mother file a new petition for me now that she is a USC and has a much better financial situation?
I also have been together with my current GF for the past 3 years. She is a USC.
Basically i want to know if there is any way in this world i can apply for a residency without leaving the country.
