You will want to do Adjustment of Status. Overstays of spouses of U.S. citizens are "generally" forgiven.

Here is the link to the guide on Adjustment of Status, it should get you started :) Congrats on the marriage.

chojna,

Your huband's tourist visa, along with other facts of the situation that you do not mention, may complicate the process of becoming a LPR. Start by having a consultation with an immigration attorney who has experience with these types of cases to discuss the details of his situation and get some advice based on those details.

I haven't started any process yet neither am i married to a US ciitzen but i seriously find it hard to believe that the overstay will be forgiven. Overstaying is a crime but anyways if it's official now that overstayers will be forgiven, then good luck :D

As far as I've heard, overstays of spouses of U.S. citizens are generally forgiven, that's not something new. In addition, I'm pretty sure that a simple overstay is not a crime - it may be grounds for a ban, but that doesn't mean it's a crime.
