Is there a way I can petition her if my mom came to the US illegally?

Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
There is no way for your mother to obtain legal status in the U.S. now. However, as you likely have heard, the Congress is working on a reform of the immigration law. While nobody can say with certainty what the new law will look like, chances are that there will be some relief for parents of U.S. citizens. In expectation of the reform, some immigration attorneys advise their clients to file immigrant petitions for their relatives, even if under the current law these petitions would be of no help. You might want to file an immigrant petition for your mother now - in hope that it will place your mother ahead in the line of all the people for whom petitions will be filed after the reform of the law, or in hope that it will save you some money on the filing fees, or for any other hope. Well, the fees will go up - they always do! The rest of it is pure speculation. No one today - including the President - knows for sure what the immigration law is going to be in a few weeks or months. No one can say for sure whether filing an immigrant petition for your mother today will give you any advantage. Most likely, it would not hurt. So, if you want, go ahead and file it. The Form I-130 and the instructions are available at uscis.gov/forms Follow the instructions, and you should be able to fill out the form and file it. Otherwise, just wait and follow the news: the reform is promised, and should happen soon. We will see what relief, if any, it will bring to your mother and millions of other people.

If I want to file for petition to get my mother from the Philippines, will the fact that I am pregnant get in the way of the process or approval?

A petitioner's / daughter's pregnancy should not affect whether a relative petition filed on behalf of a mother can be approved. However, once the child is born it will affect the income requirement to be a sponsor.

Will USCIS deny my case?

Since your original family relative petition (I-130) was approved in the F2B category but you got married prior to your parents' naturalization the automatic conversion rules will most likely result in the revocation of the F2B approval which is limited to unmarried sons/daughters of LPRs. It is very important that you seek advice from a qualified attorney.
