I just wanted to ask tips if I should get a voluntary exit or "forgiveness" from the USCIS. Me and My Brother(Above 21 years Old) Entered the US 2008 after my Mom passed away and decided to stay since it was too hard for us to leave. We Overstayed our Tourist visas, my Father already remarried and is now a Permanent Resident(He got his residency 2009). My father applied for a green card petition for me and my brother and we received both our i-130's and it was approved and also got the letters from the department of state stating our priority dates(Aug 29, 2009). I lost my job last year and since me and my brother are having difficulties looking for work here and on the verge of losing our apartment, we decided to leave the country as soon as possible and basically wait for our green cards to be processed there. I know that this triggers the 10-year bar but is there a way that we could apply for a forgiveness or voluntary exit so that if ever we wanted to visit our mom(She's buried here in the US) we could go?

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to ask tips if I should get a voluntary exit or "forgiveness" from the USCIS. Me and My Brother(Above 21 years Old) Entered the US 2008 after my Mom passed away and decided to stay since it was too hard for us to leave. We Overstayed our Tourist visas, my Father already remarried and is now a Permanent Resident(He got his residency 2009). My father applied for a green card petition for me and my brother and we received both our i-130's and it was approved and also got the letters from the department of state stating our priority dates(Aug 29, 2009). I lost my job last year and since me and my brother are having difficulties looking for work here and on the verge of losing our apartment, we decided to leave the country as soon as possible and basically wait for our green cards to be processed there. I know that this triggers the 10-year bar but is there a way that we could apply for a forgiveness or voluntary exit so that if ever we wanted to visit our mom(She's buried here in the US) we could go?
