If I were to marry a USC, what would the process be for me to adjust?

Would I need to go the waiver route and go back to my country for consular interview or would I be able to have the removal order removed and adjust while in the US? Also, would it be better to wait for the result of 2020 election or does that matter?

I'm asking here because I went to 2 lawyers and got conflicting answers.

To be clear, your voluntary departure order likely became a final removal order when your parent did not depart as instructed. Any process would have to go through an immigration court.

So far, I can say that the courts and the prosecution are pretty much the same thing. There is almost no discretion going on at this time and is likely very difficult to have anything done here.
