From other posts it looks like the OP has now married and is adjusting status.

I hope you are aware that you won't be able to go back home for some time. As part of the AOS paperwork you will be able to apply for advanced parole to travel but that will take around 90 days to come through. So it will be a while before you can go home and pack up your stuff and so on.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

As I mentioned before, your biggest issue is that you won't be able to leave for some time to wrap up your affairs back home. As you only intended to go for 10 days back in Feb I imagine you have most of your possssions still at home. You won't be able to go back to get them for some time. If indeed you still want them. Likewise getting paperwork that you need. You won't be able to go home to get it or collect your mail, return keys, etc. You'll have to have your documents such as birth certificate sent to you. Your overstay won't be a problem in terms of legality since you are now married but it will be a headache in terms of practicality.

Where are your 4 children? If you brought them with you you will also need to go through the processs for them to adjust status also.

But whether you brought them or not they will need to be listed on your forms.

All previous marriages must be declared and paperwork submitted to show that the marriages ended lawfully (divorce decree or death certificate of former spouse).

In section B question 11 she lists her prior spouse or spouses. You list yours in action C question 11.

Then in section C question 17 she lists her name and all of your children. Not her children.
