Quote Quoting Mr. Knowitall
I'm not sure I understand your mother's concern. Are you planning on staying in the U.S. illegally while your petition for a Green Card is being processed?
Yes, I would like to stay in the United States while my Green Card is going through.

I don't have a I-94 nor do I have a Non Immirgrant Visa, I heard it was ok to stay in the States while my papers are going through...but I am not allowed to leave the U.S. while its going through.

is this ok?
