    ESTA To AOS Potential Problem?
    I met and married a wonderful woman who entered the US on an ESTA in 2020. At the time of our marriage, she had overstayed her ESTA by over one year . We married after nine months of dating (June 2022). We are starting the process of adjustment of status. She told me last night that she cancelled her return ticket home a few months after her 90 day ESTA expired. She has also been working in the US illegally since May 2021...

    Travel before applying for AOS
    My fiance and I have decided to apply for AOS instead of spousal visa.   But we will not be able to do the wedding and submit the AOS application before my fiance's visa entry expires.  I read before that there is a small chance that my fiance could be detained for overstaying her visa.  But we also need to travel before our wedding.  Will it be a problem to take flights after the visa entry expires?  Would we be better to stick to other forms of transport?  Thanks in advance for any thoughts or experience you have...

      I don't know anymore what i'll do right now, I'm having anxiety. I can't afford any fees and lawyers because my i-485 got denied marriage-based (U.S Citizen).  We filed our case since 2020 and it almost 2 and a half years now. 
      The reason for denial are two reasons:
      1. The petitioning sponsors 2021 Federal income tax return (by that time it wasnt available)
      2. A  Form I-864 of the latest edition date from a qualifying joint sponsor. (it shouldnt be joint sponsor but just a sponsor, its just my husband can sponsor me)
      We dont know how do the right way of cover letter for I-290B stating why our case should be reopen
      We want to send a I-290B form to reopen our case
