    Unhappy Illegally Taken into U.S. As a Child

    I moved to US with my family when i was 12 years old. For 6 years i was there illegally as well as my parents. Because my parents didnt have a visa for themselves or either for me i applied for a student visa after i turned 18 in order to start college. I succesfully graduated high school and had no criminal record and was advised by my immigration lawyer to apply for a student visa in order to enter college. My application was denied, but i truly believe it was because of my parents illegal status. I moved there as a child, didnt have a choice and wasnt aware of my status. After being denied, homeland security collected all my details but they did not have to deport me because i already had a plane ticket scheaduled. I'm not completely aware of what exact deportation is because they just told me i had to leave on that day that my flight was scheaduled. I am very sad about this because i didn't have a choice as a child when i moved there and i feel like i didnt have a chance to explain my self and my situation. Truthfully, what wa si suppos to do...my parents decided to move there but they were there illegaly. I wanted to know if anyone feels that i will truly have a chance to re-enter after my explantaion or if my case doesnt have any potential. Please, any informatio on this would mean alot to me.
    Thank you.

    Your overstay after you turned 18 was how long?

    You left the country how long ago?

    Were you accused of fraud, or any similar impropriety, in relation to the student visa?
