A: Not enough information to form a response. Are you a US citizen? How old is your son? Explore these and other questions with an attorney.
A:
In order to answer your question, there is more information that will need to be gathered. When you say your son was illegal, it is unclear whether he is an overstay or whether he entered the US illegally. I suggest that you make an appointment with an experienced immigration attorney to make a plan for your next steps which may or may not include the filing of a waiver.
Best of luck
A: Probably because he in not eligible to adjust status within the US. You claim that he is in the country without permission, and while there are a few pathways to lawful immigrant status within the US for those who are here without permission, they are few. You must also consider if your son has accrued unlawful presence and will need a waiver before he can return to the United States after his interview. We strongly recommend you speak with an immigration attorney.
