Ok years ago I came to the US to go to high school…I met my husband...we started dating…I left came back and after being here for a little while I got pregnant so I stayed instead of leaving like I was supposed to. Well after having my baby I left to go to my home country so my family could see my baby...Then when returning back to the US. The port of entry realized that I had overstayed so they deported me and said I could not return for 3 year. A year later my husband and I got married in Canada, and couple of months after getting married I entered the US but not legally. And now I’m pregnant with our 3rd child. So now…our I-130 has been approved and we got a letter about AOS fee and where to have the paperwork’s send to. So I don’t know what to do?? Should I have the paperwork come to here in the US or to my home country. Can I apply for adjustment of status...will they know that I have entered illegally? Or can I leave here and go to my home country for my interview and return without them ever knowing that I was here when I wasn’t supposed to be. How soon will the interview be scheduled and what are the whole processes after the AOS fee and where the paperwork is going to be sent. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
 
Yes, you definitely need a lawyer. The fact the you entered illegally the last time will make it a tough case I think. Overstaying is bad, entering illegally without inspection is much worse, a major no-no.
 
So the I-130 was approved at the embassy in your home country?

If it's possible to have the papers sent to you here and file them here then rather do that.
If you leave the country you will most likely be barred for 3 or 10 years.

I suggest phoning a few immigration lawyers for their advice.
 
She's already subject to the 3-year bar, and entered illegally to get around it. She CANNOT adjust status, and she needs to spend the 3 years outside the US.

It looks like she was illegally present for between 180 and 365 days, hence the 3-year bar. Every day since her re-entry has added to this total; if she's over 365 days she's now into 10-year bar territory.
 
the I-130 was approved here...but are they going to know if I leave and do my interview and then come back after everything is finalized
