Perhaps the confusion is because certain people (infrequently nowadays) have to pay a fine when adjusting - those adjusting under 245i. Does not sound like the case for OP's husband but perhaps it was for SIL?

My bitchiness was inspired by the person declaring their "knowledge" that this woman's husband would have to return to his home country, where he would be banned from re-entry, because USCIS doesn't take kindly to "foreigners" overstaying their visa. It's idiocy, and it's mean to scare people needlessly.

I do not disagree. My comment was not in response to you but in response to OP saying her SIL had a fine and other people saying there isn't one.

Hi,

I am just going to base my opinion on my personal experience and knowledge. If your husband has overstayed his USA visa for going on 8 years, he has been an illegal alien in the USA for going on 8 years. The USCIS is going to require your husband to return to his home country in order to begin the immigrant process. Once your husband has returned to his home country the USCIS will deny his re-entry to the USA for "x" number of years because he chose to be an illegal alien in the USA. The USCIS does not take kindly to foreigners who overstay their visa. The fine: 5 years, 10 years, or permanent denial of a USA visa - not to mention the costs... It would be interesting to know how your sister-in-law was able to stay in the USA after overstaying her USA visa.

Best of luck,

Sid

ACK. The person in question came in legally, with inspection.

Once the green card is approved, USUALLY the overstay is forgiven.

However, that pre-supposes that human NOT leave the USA.

What you've written, for the most part, is wrong, for this particular human.

Sorry.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
