Ok thank you. Who does this apply to? I read something about over staying so having to apply under this law but I don’t fully understand it. Still new to all of this

it was a law given in 2001, if you had a petition before April 30th 2001 you would be able to adjust status in the us, if you entered illegally or entered legally and overstayed, you could pay a fine

 

overstaying for those who entered legally but not married to a us citizen, but for family members or employment
