Probably the question in your case is whether you are adjustable to permanent residence in the country, and that would depend upon whether you entered the country legally. A person who entered the country without inspection is not allowed to adjust status unless he or she has the benefit of §245 (i), under which the individual has a labor certification application or immigrant visa petition filed by April 30, 2001 and has been physically present in the country on December 21, 2000. Lacking that, you could attempt to obtain an advance parole with your DA CA status to make another entry which will hopefully allow U.S.C.I.S. to consider you as no longer an illegal entrant. Such advance parole can be approved for schooling or business related reasons or emergent circumstances. Another option could possibly be your husband applying for you under the I-601A program under which you would interview overseas, but could file a waiver of the 10 year bar for being in the country illegally for over one year and have an adjudication of such made while you are still here. The waiver would be based upon establishing extreme hardship to your husband if you cannot obtain residence status.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
