I overstayed on my visa and recently married an American citizen. Can we file for the Adjustment of Status or will I have problems obtaining my Green card?
Answer:
In most cases one is able to apply for the Adjustment of Status, but it will depend on which visa you entered the U.S. on as well as how long you overstayed.
When someone overstays by 180 days more problems can arise.
Email us at support@tnvisaexpert.com to determine if you can apply for your adjustment of status without having problems.
Remember to always be honest about your overstay during your application and provide the correct supporting documentation as required by USCIS. Lying can get you in more trouble.
