Awesome, and congratulations to you and your wife. Perhaps you could let the OP know of any potential pitfalls or gotchas.

Wasnt hard just flood them with evidence. Play the game. She was inspected when she got here, so thats good. Did she work at all? Got to fess up if she did. its all forgiven. Just need good solid evidence.

You can still go ahead and file for the adjustment of status, but waiting this long was very irresponsible.

Note to others:  There are no benefits in waiting to file for adjustment of status. Waiting delays getting a Green Card, delays ability to travel outside the US, delays ability to legally work, delays

no, never had any problems like that. Just took a year to get a copy of her I94. Once I had that we were off. No RFEs either. We did have a stokes interview but officer seen how prepaired I was that went out the window. 10 minutes each in the office and approved that day.

My wife was a 24 year overstay. All uscis wanted to know is where she worked. nov 2018 to may 2022 Greencard to naturalazation. No lawyer

I am going to guess you did not wait 24 years to start the process.

I really don't think attorney is necessary. If you can follow the guides in this website and provide all supporting documents you should be fine. Overstay is forgiven for spouses of US Citizen. 

Yeah, this case is a little more complex due to the excessively long overstay.

No , We got married and the chase was on. Took a year plus to get her I94 info as the original passport was stolen but after that we filed. had no issues.
