Hello everyone, i just came from a visit with a lawyer, and i would like some help, please.
My mother becomes a us citizen now, in november, and she has applied for me, my brother and sister through the i130 form. We actually have lived here in the us since 2004, overstaying our visas. She got married, and now is becoming and us citizen. i always thought that watching the visa bulletin, when my month came up, we would be eligible for an status adjustment. (We got approved on the i130 in june 08) The lawyer told me today, that we have now to leave the country and ask for a pardon, to maybe be able to come back with a green card to the us, help?

You need to supply more details.

Exactly when did mom naturalize? How old are you and your siblings? Are any of you married? When did mom file the individual I-130s for each of you? The answeres will determine what visa category each of you are in. You were in a particular category when petitioner/mom was an LPR and a different one based on age and marital status and moms naturalization.

If you want meaningful answers, you need to give crucial details.
