my father filed for political asylum and it was denied, we went to court and there our lawyer told my family and i that the judge had reviewed our case and there was nothing we could do so he told us to sign a voluntary departure, my father thinking it was the good thing to do,since the lawyer said it, did it. once that signed we had 120 days to leave the country, but while we were in the court room we noticed that the lawyer did not change our adressed so we came to the conclusion that he didnt care for our case.so in the between of that time (the 120 days)my father discovers that this lawyer didnt take care of our case at all, so we hired another lawyer who when he went to look up our file in immigration it was blank.and we filed for inneffective assistence of the first lawyer. this new laywer meanwhile filed for a motion to reopen the case to the supreme court, and told my family and i that the voluntary departure time (the 120 days) was tolled, and all we had to do is wait for the higher court to respond to see if they were going to reopen the case, and then ICE came to my house and detained my father and i and we were deported and so was my mother and sibilings. Now we werent illegal, we had permit to work and drivers licences till the last day. i lived in the US for 6 years,and its been 4 months since i been deported to argentina. i do have a family member who is a US citizen, my aunt,who actually filed for us in 2001. now i would like help on how to resolve this and see if theres any chances of me coming back or applying for a waiver, we payed taxes, had good grades in school, play good rolls in the society, good people.
oh and another question, when i got to the US i was 13 and im now 19 and my sibilings are 16 and 17 can they still had been deported? is there any rule regarding the age we were brought to the US. thanks please help me out!
