My parents legally brought me here at age nine, and my mother is a current US citizen, and she wants to petition for me. How long is the process?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
For your mother to petition for you as a married son of a US citizen, it would take approximately 12 years. If you divorced, the waiting time is approximately 7 years. Please note that these estimates are based upon the present visa chart and assumes that you are not born in Mexico or the Philippines, in which case you would have to wait a longer period of time. In addition, as you are probably no longer holding legal status, you would likely be subject to a 10 year bar for having remained in the country illegally for over one year. For such a situation, you would have to file an I-601A waiver-of inadmissibility based on extreme hardship to your mother when your priority date is close to becoming available. You would also not be eligible for adjustment of status would have to consular process your final immigration.
