My family and I entered the U.S. on a non-immigrant Visa in 1986. We over-stayed our visa and lived in the U.S. ever since. We have never return to our Country or left the US since 1986.
My sister marry a U.S. Citizen and she eventually became a US citizen. When my Sister became a US Citizen she petitioned for my mother and me in July 2002. When my Mother became a Permanent Resident in 2004, she sent an i130 form for me. I was 31 years old at the time of the petition. My Mother received a i-797c Notice of Action in May 2005, stating that the i130 had been approved and that they sent the original visa petition to the National Visa Center (NVC). Sometime in November 2005, I received a notice from NVC stating that there were no visas available at this time.
My Mother became a US Citizen in July 2009 and I sent a letter to the NVC advising them of my Mother's change of status. On October 2009, my mother and I received a notice from NVC and we provided them with all the information they required (i.e. Affidavit of Support, etc.).
Last week, I received a letter from NVC stating that they scheduled an interview for me in July 2010 in my original country. I called the NVC and they told me to call CIS. CIS told me to call NVC. I tried to explain to both of them that I have lived in the US since 1986, but like I said they pointed at each other.
After reading articles in this website (Thank you for all the information) I realized that I was placed under Consular Processing, eventhought I wrote my US address on the i130 and all NVC paperwork.
I cant go back to my original country because I am afraid that I may not get a visa since I've been here illegaly in the US. Should I sent the i485 now?
If anyone has some advice, I would really appreciate it.
