I have a friend that started her process for Green Card through her U.S. Citizen husband, she got into the US with a Visitor visa but without I-90 and stayed after her visitor visa expired. Her I-130 was approved late 2010, and the person who was filling the forms instead apply for Adjustment of Status with the petition continued the process with National Visa Center after the I-130 was approved.

The case still in NVC just finishing with several checklist she had. The appointment will be in Cd Juarez Mexico.

My question here is if she goes finally to Cd Juarez, could be possible that her Immigran Visa can't be denied for staying in the USA after her visitor visa expired? She is very scary and doesn't know what to do.

Or would be better to start over with new petition and Adjust Status in USA because then she won't have a risk to have a denial in Cd Juarez Mexico? I understand she will pay again!! Can NVC accept to cancel the process started with them without any consequences for her?

What would be the smartest decision ?? Thank you for your help....

The process can be slow but not 5 years.

She leaves and she incurs a ban.

I would adjust but bearing in mind what has happened so far I would be getting a Lawyer to do it.

Not that complicated, but not something for everybody, certainly this situation proves that.

She could have been a US Citizen by now.

Yes, I understand the process to adjust status is not complicated. But how a mistake from others can affect a case and must pay more money to do the right thing.....well is the consequences to pick the wrong person or ignorance!!

Probably both.

I would recommend speaking to an attorney, but she can notify NVC that she will be adjusting in the US. She can do a 601-waiver for the time stay after her visa expired before she goes to her visa interview in mexico. She will need to proved extreme hardship with the 601 waiver. However if she enter the US legally she can adjust the status here, would need to notify NVC that she is adjusting here.

Can't she just notify NVC that she is in the US and will adjust status from there?

I don't understand what happened after the petition was approved.. did the person filling the forms submitted the AOS while the NVC process kept going? Is that what happened?

I am curious to know more about that.. you know.. for.. umm.. a friend. <_<

The fact UnaMexicana is that the beneficiary never applied for Adjust of Status, after the I-130 was approved the case was sent to NVC instead the adjustment of status

She paid all the fees in NVC The person who did all the paperwork went in wrong direction Big mistake!!!

Now the beneficiary has this big issue to solve!!!

Chely5093,

I would advise the beneficiary to call NVC directly and explain that she would like to proceed with AOS and to get directions there and how to go about that...

Do you think this is an option?

I know many people here suggested lawyers. If she decides to go that route I would only advise to contact one experienced in her situation... our has been nothing but a pain in the behind.

All the best,

UnaMexicana

Depending on the reason for the 5-year delay at the NVC (that really seems odd) your friend should be OK to send in the I-485 package. Just make sure they send in a copy of the I-130 approval so USCIS can marry up the files.
