    Default Mom Denied Visa, Reentry into the U.S

    I don't really understand any immigration laws what-so-ever, sorry i don't use the correct terms.

    Here's my problem:

    My mother came to the US a few months into her pregnancy (with me in her belly) back in 1991, her Visa (not sure what kind) allowed her to stay for a total of 6 months, but late into her pregnancy she couldn't get on a plane and decided to conceive me in the US. Her friend who said he went to extend her stay lied to her and never really did, so later when i was born i stayed in the US for a year with my grandmother and my mother went home without ever realizing her overstay or ever getting a notice or going to court. And a few years ago she applied for a new visa to come to the US to visit me and was denied on the bases of overstaying back in 1991 without notice.

    I looked it up and in order for me to petition a green card for my mother i would have to be 21 or older and from looking around a ban from the US would be at most 10 years, so, help?

    It is US law that you must be a US citizen, at least 21, and with adequate income or resources to be able to sponsor a parent for a green card. In addition, you must be residing in the US. Since you are approaching your 21st birthday and are apparently are in the US at this time , you need to be addressing your ability to support her.

    She was denied a visa due to her immigration intent not because of her overstay as long as she properly documented her exit. You are no different than hundreds of thousands of other people in similar situations; you and she just have to wait until you meet the legal requirements.
