Hello everyone! I have a quick query. My friend is currently processing her adjustment of status. She is in US already and came here under B1 Visa. She married her BF USC and now processing the petition. The lawyer she hired ask her a copy of NBI Records (philippines), i thought it was strange coz she is here already and came here under B1 Visa, she overstayed for a year before she married her BF...is there anyone here like her case who still required to get an NBI clearance (philippines)...

Because she stayed here illegally, the USCIS must follow the procedures used as if she were the beneficiary of a K visa (filing the I-130) as part of the AOS process. The police record must be provided.

Why exactly is that? The I-130/I-485 package does not require a police record. It can be required for the I129F, but that is not required if filing for a spouse in the US. The processes are not the same.

thats what i thought of, the processing of petition in US is different from outside US.

There's no need for an NBI clearance. Your friend may want to reconsider hiring that lawyer. If her only concern is her overstay, there's no reason to worry. USCIS have provisions for spouses of USC who has overstayed B1 visas. If she can prove that the marriage is bona fide, her illegal stay is "forgiven".

I also adjusted from a 2-year overstay. I didn't hire a lawyer. But I did a lot of research. Everything has been going smoothly so far.
