Immigration Advice

I'm hoping that someone knows a bit more than I do about immigration law. I've been doing a lot of research myself and attorneys in my area say they will help my case for $3K-$4K. I'm just looking for legal answers as I can't afford to pay that amount.

Background: My mother came to the US in 2005 on a tourist visa, she overstayed her visa by 4 years and voluntarily departed the US in late 2009. Under section 212 (a) (9) (B) (i) (II) of Chapter 40.9.2 of the USCIS Policy Manual, she was rendered inadmissible for a period of 10 years. She departed in 2009 and has now been 11 years out of the US. I became a U.S. citizen last year and I am trying to file a form I-130(Petition for Alien Relative). This is where I have a few questions:

​

  1. Do I have to file form I-212 (Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal) - I have read some articles/watched videos saying that this needed to be filed, however the name itself mentions after deportation or removal - neither of which were her case.
  2. What happens after the 10 years? Do I have to file any other forms? Can I simply just submit the form I-130?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, also if there is a more relevant subreddit to post this to, that would be really helpful.

Thanks

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
