Immigration Advice

I'm hoping that someone knows a bit more than I do about immigration law. I've been doing a lot of research myself and attorneys in my area say they will help my case for $3K-$4K. I'm just looking for legal answers as I can't afford to pay that amount.

Background: My mother came to the US in 2005 on a tourist visa, she overstayed her visa by 4 years and voluntarily departed the US in late 2009. Under section 212 (a) (9) (B) (i) (II) of Chapter 40.9.2 of the USCIS Policy Manual, she was rendered inadmissible for a period of 10 years. She departed in 2009 and has now been 11 years out of the US. I became a U.S. citizen last year and I am trying to file a form I-130(Petition for Alien Relative). This is where I have a few questions:

​

1. Do I have to file form I-212 (Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal) - I have read some articles/watched videos saying that this needed to be filed, however the name itself mentions after deportation or removal - neither of which were her case.
2. What happens after the 10 years? Do I have to file any other forms? Can I simply just submit the form I-130?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, also if there is a more relevant subreddit to post this to, that would be really helpful.

Thanks
