Nine years ago, my USC grandfather filed an I-130 for my mother. I was under 18 at the time, but our lawyer told me that I'd age out this year. The I-130 was approved, but we're waiting on visa numbers to become available. And based on our category, that may take another three years (but you know I really mean ten ).

I'm hoping they deal with visa number availability and she can adjust her status within the country. If not, she can just head the route of whatever program is created under CIR.

Once her immigration situation is settled and we see what kind of status DREAMers obtain, I can go to medical school.

It was under my impression that once our priority date came along, which will be another 8 years, her spouse and children are derivative beneficiaries, but I didn't know this would be void if we aged out. Huh. Oh well, at least it helps that we're "in line", no?
