Asked in Immigration Law for Arizona

Q: My 10 year unlawful presence bar is over, what options do i have to get an immigran visa?

I left the US on 2009, my dad applied for the I-130 form for both my mom and me. Two years later we got a later with the dates of the interview at Cd. Juarez. Once at the interview my mom was granted a visa, mine was denied and given the 10 year bar due to illegal entry to the US (i entered the US twice and left the country twice, second time being on 2009, and i was underage) i was told that i could not apply for a waiver. 10 years are about to pass im currently 26 years of age, what options do i have to get back to the US

A: Unfortunately, you must remain outside the US for 10 years before you can apply for an unlawful presence waiver.
