Illegal presence is normally forgiven upon marriage to a US citizen. Waivers for unlawful presence are filed abroad, not in the US. Waivers are filed upon request by USCIS. If you never left the US after your overstay, you are not banned. The 3/10 year bar only comes into effect upon leaving the US. There should be no need for a waiver for unlawful presence as you married a US citizen and never left the country. Run away from that lawyer as fast as you can. Most will take your money even though they have no experience in the type of case that you have. As suggested above, Laurel Scott is an excellent choice, as is Heather Poole at humanrights attorney.com.

I agree... I have struggled with the need of filing of a "waiver" from inside the USA in the first place... it is not typically what occurs...

Very true, and in my 3 years of being involved with the waiver process and many hundreds of hours of reading and research, multiple attorney consultations, etc, I have never heard of an in country waiver for an overstay that married a US citizen and never left the country. I guess anyting is possible, but this lawyer submitted the waiver with the AOS package. That raises a red flag inmy mind about this lawyers knowledge and experience.

Thank you so much spookyturtle,

I was granted voluntary departure by IJ after my asylum was denied. So i have a final order of deportation against me. Does those informations change my illegal presence in the USA? If you dont mind emailing me at sergebabo1@yahoo.com I will send you the summary of my biography so you could understand my situation better. Again thank you so much.

Yes it does.... an extremely important piece of information you just shared.....

Thank you payxibka,

I just dont know what to do or where to turn. This is the third lawyer who screw me over with in between many other attorney I met just for consultation, so you can guess how much money I spend already in this process, but yet I still illegal in this country with a wife, two sons, a college degree.... Again thank you.

You need to consult with either or both of the lawyers that have been suggested here, ASAP. You may need a waiver for something else, but I doubt it would be for illegal presence. You can do an initial email analysis of your case with Heather for no charge. She usually responds within a day. And the $125-150 with Laurel Scott is money well spent.
