Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Ok, so im a 32 years old male from Mexico, i entered the country illegally when i was 11 years old, my mother aquired legal status when i was 14 years old, she got married with my stepfather who a year later became a US citizen, they did not file for me becasue my biological father refused to sign the proper documentation. ( Biological father is a US resident ) Now my mother has divorced after 20 - 21 years of marriage, she has currently aquired US Citizenship, my question is, can i apply for residency if she submits a petition?? i have 3 US children 1 - 6 - 9 years old, i currently live with 2 of them, and i am paying child support for the 9 year old child, my biggest fear is, if i apply and i get deported, i wont have a chance to provide for my children, and i have no family in Mexico, they are all here and legal, I have High School Diploma as well as College Certificates... Is there anything i can do? i also have an approved 1-130 from 2003 from my ex-wife, which im currently paying child support to. Any information would be areciated... Im in California..

How old were you when your mother acquired US citizenship? If you were a minor, you may already be entitled to a Certificate of Citizenship. Even if that is not the case, you can still have your mother petition for you now. However, I will need to speak with you regarding inadmissibility issues. For a free consultation, please contact my office at 904-514-0043 or email me at [email protected]. Your location in CA is not a problem,
