I came to US 9 years ago illegal (no entry record) and I married to US citizen 6 years ago. We have 4-year-old daughter now. I tried to find local lawyer to help me adjust status with no success. They all gave me the same answer: I need to go back the original country and my spouse need to file a petition for me to re-enter US, there is nothing can be done in here US regarding to my case.
Is this true? is it really impossible for me to adjust my status within US? Cus I don't wanna back to my country, there too much thing I feared and also there is no guarantee that I can get back to US even if I file a petition in my country.
Plz. Give me some thoughts and advice.
