So my step father petitioned for my mum with form i-130 and the lawyer demanded that we submit my birth certificate even though I'm over 21 and pics of both myself and mum on the initial I-130 for my mum and the reason is that, when my mum gets citizens and she petitions for me it won't take that long to get a visa. So my question, is that done? Btw my mum's I-130 has been approved.

You were not “petitioned “ on the I 130 submitted for your mother .. you were listed as her child .. even over 21 y/o must  be listed .. if you hadn’t been listed as her child on the I130 it would have been an issue when she submitted an I130 for you in the future. How long your process takes when it happens?? No body knows. 

Your birth certificate and photos were irrelevant to your mothers I130. USCIS doesn’t go back and pull old documents from someone else’s application .. all your documentation will be required with the I130 that is filed for you in the future

Clarity can also be obtained by reading the actual questions on forms.  This question asks for information about children.  It has nothing at all to do with whether the children ever will immigrate.  Lies and/or inaccuracies on immigration forms have consequences.  The lawyer explained ONE of the consequences correctly.

 

We advise people here to answer the question that is asked, not one you think might have been asked or some other question that you misinterpreted it to be.

I thought that I-130 only asked to list the children who were less than 18 y.o. on the date of the marriage (petitioner+beneficiary marriage)?

Nope.  Read the question.  It's not about immigrating.  The lawyer didn't petition the children.  He listed them, as required.

 

Information About Beneficiary's Family

Provide information about the beneficiary's spouse and children.

 

In a spouse visa case, the first name that appears in that section is the petitioning SPOUSE.  After that, ALL the foreign spouse's children are listed, if any.  Nothing in that section asks if they are immigrating.  If petitioning for a parent, the petitioner's name is going to be their two, as the child of their parent.
