Hello Folks,
I came to the United States Illegally in 1992. I had a child with a US citizen. I was scared to live my entire life on the run from immigration authorities so I decided to go back to Mexico to do it the right way. Anyhow, I never had any status in the US and upon going back to Mexico I got married to my sons father. He petitioned for me to come back lawfully. Only there was one problem, I was considered inadmissible. So when asked with the question of whether I was in the United State previously, I stated I was not. My petition was approved and I headed for my new life in the US. This was well over 20 years ago and I haven't had any issues. I was always afraid of applying for citizenship in the event they found out about my US born child. I was convinced by an immigration attorney to file the petition and to also mention my US biological child. He stated that since it's been so long and this was their fault, your mis repensentation will be likely be forgiven. Assuming I clear finger prints and background checks. So I submitted it about two months ago. After searching online it seems most attorney think the opposite. Now I have severe anxiety and I always think the worst possible scenario in my head.
