I am new so forgive me if I am not posting in the correct place and still learning the ropes. And if this is not the correct section, kindly refer me to the correct one. Thank you.  

 

I am am trying to file for my husbands Adjustment of status after an over stay.

Quick background. He started to apply for his K3 visa back in 05/06. With his first wife. After all that was done and approved he came here and tried to do AOS then, but unfortunately his co sponsor changed his mind. So he was denied. And then his wife filed for divorce in 2008. He remained in the United States. We meet in 2011 and got married in 2013. We finally decide to adjust his status in May of 2018 and with having some bumps with either the co sponsor or the financial part of it. We were finally able to file, so the last two months we got the money and the co sponsorship figured out and we were suppose to send out our petition packet today (2/15/2019) but was notified that my husband can not adjust his status thru our marriage. And only the one who filed the K3 can adjust his status. But since they are divorced, and not one good terms. I am not sure if that’s even an option. 

 

But was told that my husband would have to go back to Mexico, then I can apply? Is that the only way? Or is there a way to adjust his status with me without him having to leave the United States? Even more so if we can prove hardship for our family to be without for any extended amount of time?

Yeah if he arrived on a K-visa the only path for him to get a greencard is through the person who petitioned him. He will have to leave and since his overstay is huge he'll get a 10 year ban when he leaves.

You can file the I-130 now. Once that is approved, you can file file an I-601A for the overstay. Once that is approved, he can go to Mexico and interview for the visa. The 10 year bar for unlawful presence - assuming that is his only inadmissibility - will be waived due to the I-601A.

 

He cannot adjust status via a K-class visa as that is specifically tied to the original petitioner/marriage.

"If you have a K-3 visa, you may only apply for a Green Card based on your marriage to the U.S. citizen spouse who petitioned for your K-3 status."

Does he have any other issues?
