I might be screwed on the removal of the age cap. The first time that I came to the US I was 3, my parents took me back to Mexico, then I came back at 8 years of age for good. However, I left the country at the age of 16 for 2 months (my life was threatened by some dumb cholo). I haven't left ever since. All of this happened before 1998. Would my leaving at 16 (even for 2 months) disqualify me since technically I entered again after being 16? I left on a plane, and I came in through the border just showing my California ID; I was asleep coming back in.
