Are you adjusting from a certain type of visa?

If it's K-1; fill out the I-485 form (adjustment of status), I-765 and I-131 (employment authorization and advance parole). Write a complete check of $1225, that is including the biometrics fee. You don't have to pay for the work permit, the fee is waived when filling with I-485.

Visitors visa; I-130 (spousal), I-485, I-765 and I-131. Total check of $1760

01/13/2016: I-129F filed  07/15/2016: K-1 visa in hand
10/13/2016: Filed AOS + EAD/AP.   07/07/2017: Permanent resident (Conditional)
04/16/2019: Filed ROC  11/17/2020: Approved. (10 yr GC)

 

Naturalization                                                        
09/02/2020: Filed (Online)    09/08/2020: NOA1: (NBC)

Then you will adjust from the visitors visa.. as long as you entered legally, the overstay will not be held against you, as spouse of a USC. At the moment though you have no legal status...so you risk deportation.. 

Once you file the AOS forms, you will be allowed to stay while the case is being decided... you can work legally when you receive the EAD card about 4 ,months after filing.. the reat of the process will taks 12 months or so... 

The quicker you are at filing, the sooner you will be safe and not at risk of deportation at this time. 

 

From a Visitors visa; I-130 (spousal) , I-485, I-765 and I-131. Total check of $1760

 

Good luck. 

great thank you so much
