My case looks like it's finally coming to an end .see this is my high hopes *fingers crossed* I was brought to America as a child buy my father side of family u know for a better life ,my grandmother try to adopt me but it just couldn't go any further in that matter until it was proven how I came to the us .wch couldn't be cause it was illegal , So I just had to live a low key life ,I couldn't get a regular job or any thing just felt so out cast being in this situation I just wanted to be a regular us citizen live a normal life like the rest of my family but I was the only one in this situation because they wanted to bring me over the way they did illegally , I knw it was out of love for a better life they wanted the best for me but I just wld rather not go thru all they pain sometimes I feel like my life is just all mess.ed up. Bot I gotta stay strong. So the adoption couldn't go thru so I had to just life in limbo hoping for the law to change praying for the best .at age 22 in 2010 I got questioned by police they ask my info name etc.. I was sent to detention center ,the lawyer that was working on my adoption case quickly came into the matter and I had to wait to be seen by the judge . So for the next year n half I had to Report to isap wear foot bracelet for months had to report every other week! .my court date finally came up I was order removal 2011 in the Christmas week. I was heart broken felt Soo fed up of everything felt like I am just this criminal that done something so wrong smh . And I never commitied a crime in my life I abide by all rules and respect them... So we got another lawyer with more knowledge in my type of matter .which probably should of been done from the beginning maybe it wouldn't turn out or dragged out for so long . So I just choose to come back to my ja my mother who I haven't seen for 18yrs. The new lawyer said I could do an appeal to stay or if I go I could be able to file i212 waiver so Im here in jamaica waiver got approved last year my grandmother brought it down n surprised me was stunned that it was approved I was overjoyed , like finally is everything going to work out for me? I hope this will be the end the waiver is approved I'm waiting to hear when my interview date is but I'm so nervous I'm kinda terrified! how this will go don't wanna be turn down once again ... I just want a chance to live I deserve a second chance so I'm here waiting, praying to god that everything continue to work out for me ...

You need two waivers: (i) An I-212 waiver seeking permission to re-enter after being deported. (ii) An I-601 waiver of your illegal presence. Without both, you cannot receive a visa. It's also

He heeds no I601 he did no crime and he was taken

there as a kid, G/mother raised him here and I guess

he would have been a dreamer maybe, his I212 is for the

deportation.....oh! but boiler U R right the consulate can

be picky and say they want 601 for over-stay (not very likely)

they never do the 212 before 601 ....the good thing he stays

approved. The worst can happen it takes a bit longer, his case

is pretty much str8 forward

As stated, grandparents cannot petition grandchildren for US immigration. Unless something is materially different from what you've said, you will not be receiving a visa.

In addition, you lack a qualifying relative to file for a waiver of your overstay. You have a ten year bar which commended the day you left the US, due to overstaying for at least one year. A qualifying relative for the I-601 would need to be a US citizen or LPR parent or spouse.

For clarity you deleted the post where the OP said she was being petitioned by a grandparent.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
