Hello everyone, after so many years I'm back to my favorite place for information. This time to help a friend who has overstay visa. However after several years, has married a US Citizen. I'm thinking with this she can apply and obtain a green card. Am I correct and what form is applicable? I485 as she is already in the US. Thanks so much and sorry I tried a search.

Yes. Adjust status and for this category overstay is “forgiven “. Apply before the fees increase in April if at all possible. Apply for work and travel authorization concurrently. Still 8 plus months before she can consider traveling overseas

No, US citizen has all the power until GC is approved, unless I-130 is already filed and immigrant claims abuse through WAVA.

 

He cannot send her back, she's not an object. But she would not be able to legally stay in the US without husband changing mind.

 

Given this huge argument occurred so early in the process, I would advice not proceeding with I-130 even if they make up. Too much risk of another argument further down the line of immigration journey. Legal divorce and leaving the US sound like a sensible option.
