unusual situation

[She0710 63]

Hello all, my case is quite complicated and I have a lawyer but I want other opinions. So at the age of 12 in 2005 I moved to the US because my mother was about to get married. So she did and her husband filled for us (my mom, sister, and I). The process wasn’t so smooth. I got denied once in 2012 and my step father refilled for me. Also I qualified for DACA so I applied for that. I had DACA for 2 years and never renewed it as I was still in the country legally due to my pending i485. In 2015 my mom had an interview with immigration but at the time she was no longer with my step father ask she got denied. The weird thing is. We were still able to apply for a work permit under that i485. So come 2016 we have to go back home for humanitarian reasons so my mother my sister and I reapply for our work permits and travel Documents under our “pending” i485 since it’s free. My mother got denied her travel documents. My sister and I left the country anyhow (dumb move). A few weeks later I find out I was in removal proceeding a few months before I left the country and I missed a court date. However I was never served a letter so I had no idea. Due to that my work permit couldn’t be renewed hence a denial for my travel document. However my sisters travel document got approved and was able to return to the US. 

I met my husband now in college and he is filling for me to return. My i130 got approved and now I’m in the NVC stages of this entire process. My lawyer claims all he has to do is reopen my court case and get it terminated and plead for me not to get a ban. Since I was a minor when I moved to the US anyway. He isn’t saying much about me needing a waiver and I am praying I won’t need one. However I want to know if anyone here is familiar with a case like mine.

Illegal presence does not start accruing until you are 18.

 

You are likely only find out for certain when you are interviewed what if any bans you have.

Yea I’m very nervous about my interview only because of my history with the US, I am praying I won’t have to apply for a waiver.
