After I posted on behalf of my daughter, I realized I didn't explain myself.
My daughter married a man that came to this country on a student visa from Colombia and overstayed for 12 years. My daughter is a USC and I am helping since I have some experience doing so. First time with a overstayed student, that is my confusion. Do we have to apply for a pardon or just simply file I-130, I-485 and documents.
Thank you all.
