Don't separate me and my father

[J0331]

Jurisdiction

Georgia

My dad came to the United States illegally then he met my mom and I was born in Georgia. He's lived in the United States now for probably 20 years he works everyday providing for his family and he also pays taxes. Him and my mom separated when I was little. He's always told me something about when I turn 18 I can do something so he can become a US citizen. I'm 17 now about to turn 18 is there anything I can do so he can become a Citizen of the United States??

Apparently not until you are 21 and, even then, not without an astronomical amount of difficulty which might include your father having to leave the country for ten years.

Read the following comments:

Could an US citizen child sponsors her parents although they've been overstayed in America?

I'm sorry but illegal is illegal and, unless there is some sort of amnesty happening in the future (unlikely), any hope for your father's citizenship is decades away.

He might as well stay put and hope he never gets caught.
