I am an adopted daughter of a US Citizen & an Immigrant. They adopted me when i was 14 years old & court decisions were finalized that same year. I am living with them since then, attending to my needs; shelter, foods & education. I am 20 years old now. Unfortunately my father died last 2007. Sadly we havent started the petition yet. We know that my mother could still petition me but how is that possible if am turning 21 middle of next year? She is a Greencard holder & go to US often, just once a year for a vacation. We were living together here in the Philippines. I believe she is eligible for US Citizenship which can make my petition faster. So if we file her US Citizenship now together with my petition, what is the chance that i could go to US before i turn 21? thanks!

I was pulled over because my headlight had gone out that day.We were driving back a few blocks to our hotel and were pulled over as I pulled into the hotel lot. I have no record of any kind and not even a speeding ticket in my life. What are the chances I can plead this down from DUI if any. I was fully cooperative and was driven back to the hotel by the cops that night.
