Wow, are we not supposed to help people with immigration issues when they come here asking? They overstayed, yes. They can also still legally adjust status based on being married to a USC. The law allows it, period. You don't like the law? Then take that up with the government. They make them, and not the OP.

OP> Follow this guide for adjusting status > http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

The fees for the I-765(EAD-work authorization) and I-131(AP-advance parole for travel) are waived when filed with a pending I-485, so include both of those too. It takes about 60-90 days to receive the EAD/AP combo card, which will allow you to work(along with an SSN) and re-enter the US when traveling abroad while waiting for the green card approval.

Once you file for AOS, you will be in a period of authorized stay while waiting for your green card to be approved. Yes, you can travel domestically within the US between states. I would carry a copy of your marriage certificate and receipt notice from filing the I-485.

Thanks for your answer, you are very nice =)

Hi everyone,

this is my case: I entered the USA with a tourist Visa a year ago, so as u can see I overstayed here for more than 6 months. Recently I married an american citizen and we want to travel arround the country and to Europe the next year, so these are the questions.

Is there is any problem now that I overstayed with my tourist visa?

I understand she needs to fill the I-130 and I have to fill the I-485, what other forms do we need to fill?

If we want to travel to other states after sending the forms is there any risk of being deported if I got through any control points between states?

What form do we need to fill to travel abroad before I get the green card?

thanks in advance.
