CR-1 overstay problem

[Openheart]

Just wondering if anyone with Brazilian spouse is filing CR-1 with an "overstay problem" in USA to share experience.
We feel a bit lost and after reading these forums we are concerned about the lengthly process.
Thank you in advance for sharing any similar situations.

If she left the USA after this overstay, then this person is subject to a 10 year bar from returning to the USA.

You must find yourself a good lawyer and look into waiver I-601.
