FINGERPRINT Card

[bogart 3]

Im just wondering if its gonna affect my status from tourist to AOS petition? We havent filed anything to USCIS yet. The thing is, i need to get a fingerprint fbi clearance ASAP for personal reasons and ofcourse if i fill up an application i need to put my address. Will i get in trouble? Does immigration will detect this? Im an overstayed tourist married to a USC.

Should not be an issue.

USCIS does contact FBI during process as part of their name checking, this is one reason why you get printed for AOS.

If you are doing FBI clearance, they only check for any criminal record. You won't get in trouble with USCIS for doing FBI background check for personal reason.

BTW, If you have overstayed your visa, do not leave the US until you get your Green Card. You could get subject to 3 or 10 years bar if you leave the US later without your Green Card.

Depends on how much you overstayed. If it is 180 days or more, then no, you are not. If you applied, you would get approved, but right on the thing itself, it will say that if you have overstayed 180 days or more, the AP document will not prevent you from incurring a ban when you exit the country.
