Let me start by saying that this is one helpful site I have ever ran into. So lets begin.
I was brought here in the U.S on 1989 without admitted or paroled (illegally), at that time I was 8. Since then my mother went through proper channels to get us our residency through abc and 15+ years she got hers, soon after she passed away. Two years later my wife and I get a letter to go see a immigration officer . Soon after that interview it seem that we didnt have enough proof to show that I was filing under abc so everything fell through. He said we would get another letter to see an immigration judge.
The letter is now here and our appointment is set on Aug 21'st 2007. We are afraid that we may lose everything we earned here in the u.s Our home, our daughter who was born here in the u.s. My wife is from Mexico and I'm from Guatemala. None of us have family there and we hardly speak Spanish.We both started elementary school here and both graduated from high school, also attended college. I don't think I have enough evidence in our case as far as what type of program we file for.
So what can I do to overturn our removal? Is that it, everything at loss? I have hope and I'm willing to do anything to keep my family together and most part I cant live without my wife and two year old daughter. This sucks, I was brought here at a young age only to find out years later that I'm illegal. I do thank my mother though for everything she did for me, a better life and live the American dream, is what I was doing until I got this notice.
Thanks for reading, I will call for an attorney and see what can they do for me and my family.
