My dad sent my stepmom, sis, and I here. Before he passed away he asked my stepmom to apply for us, which she did. But my concern is that she applied for me as her daughter and soon I will apply for my citizenship I would love to know if I could apply for my biological mother and her two children.

It depends... I don't have your full story... I would guess that she legally adopted you and your sister. If this is correct, you cannot petition your biological mother.

Need more info about your father and step mother...

All I remember is that they were in politic in my country and something went wrong and people were after them and other politicians. Then my dad found away to send us here. My dad married with my stepmom and had my sister. So before those things happened I wasn't living with my dad, I was living with my mom. So when they were after then I was at their house for that summer. However, my dad decided to send me away with them. We came on a boat, but my dad didn't com with us. So he told his with to applied for us as asyl; which she did, but the problem now she put that she's my birth mother, which she's not. And now I would love to know if I can apply for my real biological mother and her to children.

That means she legally adopted you... so you can't file for your biological mother.

I need your advice on something that might make me inadmissible to become a permanent resident. I first entered this country in 1996 when I was 13 years old, on a tourist visa. The visa was valid for 5 years but I overstayed my I-94 which was valid only for six month. I left in 1999 when I was 16 then tried to renter with the same visa but I was denied entry. I was not deported; I withdraw my application for admission and went back to my country. I reapplied for a new visa; the visa was granted and I came back to the US the same year. All that happened over 10 years ago when I was 16, I am 27 now. I have not left the US since. Do you think that I triggered the 10 year ban when I left and come back? I was only 16, I had no choice, and I was brought here by my parents. I went for an interview a few days ago and they know about the whole story. I was told at the interview, that officer will look into and let me know if I will be required to apply for a waiver. My green card is based on an approved I-360. Do you think I will need a waiver? Do you they will use it against me even though this incident happened a over 10 years ago when I was a minor. I appreciate any help, Thank You.

You said your I-360 has been approved... on what category?

It was approved based on vawa

My boyfriend's US residency case is pending. He has lived in the US for a long time and been a California resident (He has his CA driver's license) for a long time as well. Is it OK to travel to the US Virgin Islands?
