This fact sheet maybe of use. However if I'm not mistaken, it seems that you should have filed within 2 years of the death to qualify.

When did he die?

[Cheezees 1,514]

You said you are trying to adjust your status based on your marriage which preceded your husband's death. Is this correct?

Could you clarify a few things?

You say he died in 2001. That would make it 14 years since his death. Did you mistype the year?

You say your country is Malta but your profile has you as being from American Samoa. Is it in fact Malta?

My condolences.

OP's past threads are confusing, different stories, maybe for a 'friend'.

She could be from Malta but is in America Samoa & wants to adjust

Was the marriage in 2001 or did he passed that yr?

[Boiler 45,499]

Past posts suggest a completely different story line or two.

Completely shocked that people come here and lie.

Unfortunately you have to file within two years of your US citizen spouse's death, so you are now no longer eligible to immigrate through them.

[IcezMan_IcezLady 582]

The immigration benefit you are asking for is through the husband who is unfortunately no more and no documentation was filed to adjust status and you never established yourself here in the states.

Those are difficult flags to get by.

I doubt there's a way.

But i would suggest seeking the counsel of an immigration lawyer.

Good luck to you!
