How can I marry my girlfriend who overstayed on tourist visa?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lana Vladimirovna Kurilova Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Lana Kurilova Rich PLLC
Your girlfriend was inspected and admitted upon entry into the U.S. If you are a U.S. citizen, once you two get married, your wife will be able to adjust her status to the legal permanent resident provided, of course, that she has no criminal history and is otherwise eligible to adjust status, and provided that you can show sufficient financial support (or have a joint sponsor). As to timing, you two should decide on that, but please note that, since she overstayed her welcome, she could potentially be subject to detention and removal proceedings because she no longer has any legal status in this country. Just because you are planning to get married does not mean that she has some sort of protection from her now-undocumented status in this country.

Can I still adjust my immigration status?

Answered by attorney Christine Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Christine Green
Typically a visa overstay can adjust status immediately by getting married to a US citizen because he/she is considered an immediate relative. However, you may be inadmissible for other reasons. I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney who can review the denial notice and guide you on how to proceed.

What forms do I need to fill out to petition my spouse?

M. Gabriela Ungo
Answered by attorney M. Gabriela Ungo
Immigration lawyer at GC Ungo Immigration
You should file a petition for alien relative first. This petition could be pending between 8-12 months assuming you file it with all the supporting documents. After the case is approved by the US Immigration Service, then it moves to the National Visa Center which will gather all the documents required to process your husband's immigrant visa at the US Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Immigrant Visa cases are often processed at the NVC in 2-4 months, assuming the petitioner knows what he/she is doing. Family-based consular processing immigrant visa cases could be complex and long. I would advise you to seek specialized legal advice.
