Does the Deported need to file the 212 or can an adult child submit on their behalf?

The I-212 application for permission to reapply for admission into the U. S. after deportation or removal must be signed by the applicant although a parent or legal guardian may also sign the application for someone under 14 years of age, and a duly appointed legal guardian may sign for an adult who is incompetent to sign the application.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.
