lost my F1 statut and have a sister citizen

[herman12 0]

Hi,

I came here on a F1 visa in 2011. In 2013 , I lost my status due to financial matters. I talked to a lawyer regarding my case and he explains me that it can be possible to adjust my statut since my sister is an usc.for that there are 2 possibilities

First she can directly field for me as relative but it could take 10 years before any changes with few chances

Second, she can apply for our mother and she will aply for if she approved.

A friend of mine refers me to this forum , so if any one ever have a similar case or have some informations with more details I will really appreciate.

I'm actually 24.

Thx you

One thing is for sure, either sister or mom files the petition, you have to leave the US. Overstaying will give you a ban of as much as 10 years.

You cannot adjust status in the US. Sorry.

You will never be able to adjust status at this point - you would have to have legal status to do that. Only possibility would through marriage to US citizen.

Petitioning your mother would take about a year and then you through your mother another 7-8 years, if you stay unmarried.
