I was a student int he u.s on a F-1 visa which expired when I graduated in 2008. I had married my usc husband in Canada that summer. We have 2 kids and we come to visit him every 3-6 months. I am now here in the u.s visiting and don't want to go back. Its too much to have to keep traveling with 2 small children and its also harder on me to care for them on my own. Can I apply by F-1 to AOS or just AOS from visitor status?

You will be changing your current status, which is that of visitor. Don't stress. Everything will be fine. You have done nothing wrong! AOS is designed for people like you. Unless you have a criminal record, or your husband has a criminal record, specifically a sexual assault, etc., or unless you can't prove support, you have nothing to worry about.

Just go over the guides (don't be frightened by the warning that some people don't qualify for AOS, that doesn't apply to your case) and go over your application with a fine-toothed comb.
