  • Married To A USC After Expired Visa

    Please, does anyone know of someone who recently adjusted his or her status after their visa got expired; Or who overstayed their visa, genuinely got married to a US citizen, and then adjusted status.
    Kindly share your experience or the experience of the person you know. I'd really appreciate if you can also speak on the timeline. Thanks and God bless you.

    Many people i know. Nothing to be scared about,if you came on a visa and have an I-94,go ahead and have your USC wife file an I-130 for you. All the best.

        My cousin who was out of F-1 status filed for AOS in 2015 and got approved. He's currently re-applying for his 10-year green card. He said the immigration officer didn't seem to care what his status had been prior to that point -- all the questions were about his marriage.

          It's 100% legally irrelevant for AOS for an Immediate Relative (spouse, unmarried under-21 child, or parent of US citizen) whether they were in status or not or how long they may have been out of status. Lots of people do it all the time and it is no different from any other AOS from the same category. The officer usually wouldn't even bring it up.

          This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

            Same boat here. Came in 2004, overstayed in 2009. Been working and paying taxes since 2008. I even already have 36 credits with SSA. Got married in 2014. Applying for AOS now. Student at an IVY league school. We are all in this together! Don't worry too much and go for it!
