What about those U.S citizen son/daughter who made an adjustment of status(currently pending) for their parents who already overstayed their visa for less tahn 180 days. Are they already considered as illegal immigrants and could possibly be affected with the newly elected president's campaign for illegal immigrants deportation? any insights for this is greatly appreciated. thanks

As I understand it, when you file an application you enter into a period of protected status.

I think it's way too early to try and guess what President Trump will do. Mass deportation will cost a lot of money, and a Republican congress will want to spend as little as possible. I'd say hang tight, continue with everyday life, and try not to worry.

They both entered the country (U.S) with inspection as B1/B2 visa but overstayed and applied for aos thru a U. S citizen son/daughter. Thanks for the response and Godbless everyone.

Trump won't sit in the office before mid-January and a mass deportation can't be decided within a few weeks.

They should have their status by then.

I wouldn't worry to much :)
