Re: denial adjustment of status for my mother a

Yes, you can appeal but it will be difficult because of your mother's admission to the immigration officer.

Re: denial adjustment of status for my mother a

First, how did you mother enter the US, with a visa or using the visa waiver program? This is an important fact, because if she entered with the visa waiver program, she may not be eligible to appear before a judge.

When you appeared at the interview, did the officer ask you for any additional information? Did he/she ask you to file for a waiver? Did he/she give you any document to show that you appeared for the interview and that they are reviewing your mother's application?

You should consider speaking with an immigration attorney who will be able to provide you with guidance regarding what could happen with your mother's application and how you should proceed at this point.

Re: denial adjustment of status for my mother a

Your mother has an issue with lack of bona fide nonimmigrant intent, which may be a reason for denial of adjustment of status. However, it is recommended to consult with immigration attorney to evaluate details of your case and arguments for motion to reconsider etc.
