Is it too late to get my green card?

About 10 years ago my mom got her green card. (2007) back then I was 20 years old. We were so ignorant, they never told us to put application for me, and we didn't event thought that I could have gotten it. . Now 2017 I have DACA. So my question is could I apply and say that when my mom got her residency I was a minor? I read something about child protection act. Is it even possible, or is it too late?
Thanks

CSPA only applies when the application has been filed.

Still, it never hurts to spend $250 and talk to a lawyer about all your options.

Or he can save that money and ask people on VisaJourney or here in DAP.

If his parents would have talked to a competent lawyer to start with he wouldn't be in this mess right now so it's obvious he's never talked to one. You need some advice on plumbing or how to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on your car? Ask some random strangers on the internet. Worst case, you'll have a leaking toilet or your car won't start. This is OP's entire life so screwing something up can have a lasting effect.

I'm sure people on here are helpful, but strangers online don't have the entire picture. Up to OP to decide whether that $250 is better spent on something potentially life changing or an Xb0x.

It's all about getting the right sources. You can learn how to change the camshaft position sensor or advice on plumbing all on the internet. It's a matter of fact of how good you are at obtaining these sources with high certainty.

Based on your age, you're not a millennial. So you wouldn't understand what I'm talking about.

On the other hand, if this poor kid didn't had the time to research then yes, go pay a lawyer. You pay for services because you don't have time to deal with it.

I'm not sure what you're implying by my age. I've been online since 1992 using a shitty 2400 baud modem while many millennials were still in their diapers. You can research online all you want but there is no substitution for laying it all out confidentially in front of your lawyer. But hey, you spend your money how you want.

Being online and knowing how to use the internet efficiently are two different things.

Hell, I'm surprised you don't know mechanics or lawyers use the internet to research questions.

But hey, you spend your money how you want.

lol If your lawyer has to go to DIY lawyer forums to research, he's probably one of those avacado lawyers (I know what I mean).

What do I have to get you to walk away convinced that this old guy knows his way around the old information super highway?

I have to admit that my first foray into the online world wasn't the internet but local BBSes (Computer Bulletin Board Systems) and they were nothing more than a geek with one or two phone lines coming to them, but then I discovered some that also had telnet access which would let me connect to various university and government services as well.

It sort of became a hobby to find BBSes with toll free numbers and talk to random people around the country. When we got a new 386 sx 20 mhz machine, it also came with a Prodigy subscription so that was also nice.

When I moved to a bigger city, I found that a lot of BBSes had local meetups too so a lot of my current friends were met through that at a time when only a few people had heard of "online". Windows 95 was kind of a game changer and all of a sudden, it was becoming cool to talk about the internet even if you didn't understand it.

The World Wide Web in particular was starting to gain traction so I started buying access and used Mosiac and later Netscape and even got my own phone line for the modem and started doing IT work on the side to help people set up their machines and LANS and we'd meet up at user groups to plan quake on a LAN and exchange MP3s which had just come out.

Some of guys in the group had ISDN lines so they would get on USENET and download anything they could find and put the good stuff on their FTP server for us to use which was nice. Around this time we also started using ICQ and America Online's messengers which was just totally amazing considering the only other private communication at the time was pagers and very few people could afford a cell line.

Once broadband came on the scene, it was kind of game changer all kinds of things came and went. There were tons of search engines - Altavista, Lycos, Webcrawler etc. until Google came on the scene. I was one of the first people on napster and social media with friendster which gave way to myspace and was on facebook when you needed to have a .edu email address to join.

I could bore you with all the other crap I used to do with side jobs and things I studied like using TCP sockets and other things a CS grad would know and learn on his own (.NET, Android programming, etc.) but that probably won't convince you because it's not snapchat or minecraft. I refuse to use snapchat.

Oh by the way, many of the "tech generation" are just consumers and not creators. You ask a teenager to set up a router and an access point with port forwarding and they'd look at you like you're nuts. Much like with cars, the older guys know what the hell is going on under the hood too.
