I would say YES it would be better to have a "GOOD" immigration lawyer someone who knows the immigration process, as an over stay can & will be tricky!!

I wish you all the best!! :thumbs:

Neekie, Neekie, Neekie.

Provided that your husband entered legally (ie. didn't sneak across the border) - which we know he did because he had a valid visa - and is otherwise eligible, then there is a procedure to adjust status here in the US.

I would strongly recommend that you talk to a lawyer for an initial consultation, if for nothing else than to set your mind at ease. Even with an overstay of that length of time, assuming that is the only issue then he will still be able to go through the AOS and stay here with you in the US. If your case is a straight-forward overstay, there is no reason why you can't file the forms on your own - you can always go back to a lawyer if you feel you need one in the future.

An alternative to seeing a lawyer is to make an InfoPass appointment at your local district office and ask there. I suspect they will give you the packet of forms required to file for AOS.

Check it out.

Don't get stressed out by your situation. I know it would be easy to. I suggest to first contact someone at CIS, just state exactly what you said in this post. They will tell you what you need to do, and hopefully they will be nice about it. Someone from CIS will be helpful, you just need to find the right person. I would go to the lawyer only if the CIS officer wasn't helpful or scared you.
