You are "out of status"? You mean you overstayed and are now in the US illegally? You just complicated your case... Is your new wife a US citizen or a permanent resident?

@benchris

I'm currently in the same boat as you. I finished school, got denied OPT and fell into an overstay. It complicates it yes, but all is not lost. Looking to send my application in any day now too. read the step-by-step guide @ValerieA posted, but ALSO go to the uscis.gov & read the instructions on the forms I-864, I-485 & I-130. You don't want any "had i known" moments dealing with these guys ...

All the best

Arrived in the U.S - August 17th, 2006 on F1 Visa
Met "then" girlfriend - March 2009
Graduated - December 17th, 2011
