In this short Spanish‑language legal Q&A, a person who has been in the United States since 1996 asks attorney Lorena Rivas whether she can regularize her immigration status now that she has a 21‑year‑old daughter who is a U.S. citizen and a mother who recently became a lawful permanent resident. The attorney explains that the adult citizen child can potentially sponsor the parent, and the resident mother can be used as a basis for a waiver (perdón) to overcome unlawful presence. She also notes that there are other pathways for individuals without resident parents, and emphasizes the need to explore options that avoid penalties and the requirement to leave the country.
