No. But, she needs to pay all back taxes owed and file returns for those years as there is no statute of limitations for fraud! Her husband may be held liable as California is a community property state and half the income of one spouse is attributable to the other.

You wrote Question: Do I need to leave US after I married to US citizen and my student visa expires? RESPONSE: Generally you do not have to do that. If you filed for Adjustment when you were in the U.S. and "in" status you can stay in the U.S. while the I-130/AOS case is pending. YOU WROTE: Question Detail: I just got married with US citizen and I have F1 student visa. RESPONSE: Congrats on your recent nuptials. You wrote: After 20 days, I will be overstaying because I lost my scholarship. I can't go to school anymore. My visa will expire in 2016. Can I apply for green card? RESPONSE: If you were "in status" at the time you filed your AOS case then you can stay in the U.S. until the case is processed. YOU WROTE: I heard that the fee for the green card is $1500. Is that right? Can I stay in US while I am waiting for my green card? RESPONSE: You should check the website for the fees for the submissions you will be making. In general, folks who filed for the I-130 and I-485 when they are in-status can stay in the U.S. There are nuances to this however and it is recommended that you enlist a competent legal practitioner to guide you with regard to this matter.

How do I get my green card if I am married to a US citizen?

It depends on how you entered. If you entered legally you likely can adjust your status. If you entered EWI, you will be eligible to benefit from the new policy of asking for waivers of inadmissibility in the United States. Under the current law, people who entered without inspection have to return to their home country to obtain permanent residence. The new policy is designed to allow that trip to be fast and with much less uncertainty. Waivers are based on individualized facts and I suggest hiring competent counsel.
