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

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
