Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

I am a 19 year old, from el salvador. I came to the united states when I was only 11 years old and I'm wondering if there is anyway for me to become legal in the this country? My mom and older sister were able to get the Temporal Protective Status but because of the ending period I was not able to qualify. Is there any way I can obtain a legal status like the ( tps) or any kind of visa! Two of my uncles became resident recently and I was reading that they could petition for me? But I don't know if is possible?

Your uncles can't petition for you. Uncle can petition for his sister or brother (when an uncle is a USA citizen -- not a resident), and it currently takes about 8+ years for the priority date to become current. You need to consult a good immigration attorney and ask what legal options you have. It's not really clear from your post what you can qualify for if you have never applied for TPS or any other status.
