A: More information is needed. Did anyone petitioner her by January 14, 1998? Was she physically present in December of 2000 and petitioned by April 30, 2001? Which dates did she enter without inspection? Does she want to consider other forms of immigration relief, such as cancellation of removal before an immigration court?

I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are more complications. Good luck.
