Help! Is he going to be deported??

[Arun+Catie 1]

My cousin (USC) and her husband (Bahamas citizen) have been married for two years, and they have a one year old child (USC).

Her husband came to the USA on a student visa about 10 years ago, and has been living here illegally since graduating in 2003.

What options do they have? If they apply for the IR1 visa (I-130, I-751, etc.), will he be deported since he is living here illegally now?

Any help or advice is appreciated!

Student visa holder should NOT leave the country. They need to file an I-130 and I-485 to adjust status.

Also don't bother filing an I-131 for AP document, considering the overstay, they should NOT attempt to leave the USA until they have a GREEN-CARD. AP will not prevent the POE from denying re-entry to the USA.

Moving this to the AOS from Student/Work/Visitors visa forum.

That won't be a problem. Just follow the advice that received on the other reply.

I was in the same situation as your cousin and everything went fine.

Good luck on your journey.

do they have to file both the froms (I-130 and I-485) together. And do they need to file I-751 also as YouAndDan says

[Killer_Clown_2009 0]

They start by filing the I-130 & 1-485. File them together at the same time.

They can file for the I-751, but won't want to use it.

WRONG. I-751 is for Removal of Conditions. NOT for adjustment of status.

Again, to the OP
