I have about 180 family members all American including my father and 1 person my mother in UK who has no family, I was born in UK and have a English mother, mother and father were not together when I was born so I did not get to find my father and family in USA until I was about 22..
I came to America met my father he did not apply for my green card in my 6 month time frame I ended up overstaying my visa and became a private investor here paid taxes etc employed people, I have never worked for anyone, I never went home and subsequently I am now retired property investor and single my father decided 15 years later probably out of guilt he would apply for me.
My 990 days of waiting are now up 7 days ago, my lawyer told me that even though I waited the required 990 days immigration will ask me to leave and re-apply outside the USA I will be subject to a 10 year ban and will not be able to re-apply until after my ten year ban is up which in essence means I will have to wait outside the country for a further 10 more years plus another 990+ days.
Is there nothing I can do even though my father is American and my entire family except my mother is American, this just seems very harsh.
