Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

These rumors are not true.

If you are illegal and came to US illegally, there is no way for you to make self, your sister and mother legal. Someone has to petition for you. In addition, you are removable (deportable) from the USA, if apprehended by ICE.

Perhaps you were born in the U.S., and are therefore a U.S. citizen? If not then there is nothing you can do. However, as a US Citizen, you may petition for your siblings or parents. You should seek advice from an immigration attorney. If you have more questions, you may contact our office at 415-387-1364 or [email protected]

If you are a U.S. citizen, you may petition for your mother and sisters at age 21. Whether they are eligible to adjust status to permanent residence in the U.S. depends on whether a petition for permanent residence or labor certification was previously filed for either of your parents (or sisters) prior to 4//30/01. If your sisters are under 18 at the time they immigrate - unlikely - then they would be exempt from the requirement of having to leave the U.S. which would be needed for your parents (or sisters) if they did not have a petition filed by 4/30/01. If they are ineligible to adjust status to permanent residence, getting permanent residence would be by immigrant visa and departure from the U.S. They would need a waiver of inadmissibility filed on their behalf in that case, and whether that would be approvable is something to discuss based on further information.
