Consult with an immigration attorney: http://www.aila.com

What is your mother's status in the U.S. now?

She current has no status. she applied but the sponsers backed out at the last minute, which left us with a denied greencard. she also has the SS card that says not valid for employment

That sounds complicated, you better consult an immigration attorney like JAJ said.
What about going back to London? this is not an option for you?

And if you meet someone and get married, you could stay? or they will deport you because you got married on an ilegal status?

I wish I could help you OP.

My daughter is in a similar position to you she is 22 years old.

She has married an American Citizen they also have a 1year old son, they have been married for 3 years.

She wants to come back to England, but she know she won't be allow back into American for 10-15 years.

Her husband has told her he is willing to come back to London with her, but the problem is, if they split up, she is worried he will take her son back to America, then she woul not be able to see her son again.

She has also though of going back to England without her husband and take her son. She has found out she would get arrested for kidnapping, without her husband consent.

She feels like a prisoner, she can't work, she has prob with getting medical help for herself and her son.
