    How could I prevent coming in contact with them? 

    Whatever you do to minimize possible contact with police. Depending on a state, regular police can refer to ICE if they suspect a person is in the country unlawfully. 
     

    Anyone can be stopped by the police at any time, including if you’re passenger in car so probably don’t drive or be a passenger in a car… this is just one example though

    Multiple members including myself already advised that overstay is forgiven for spouses of US citizens. 
     

    Yes, you still are subject to deportation IF in unfortunate circumstances you come into contact with ICE. 
     

    If this is causing too much worry and anxiety, perhaps it is a sign to marry, depart and pursue CR1 visa through consular processing.

    Is a green card considered a visa for the question 'Have you ever been issued a US visa?' on the DS 160 application?

    Thanks Powerpuff - finding this so confusing!

    I applied for my green card as spouse of a Cuban citizen, so via the Cuban Adjustment Act. I was in the USA during my adjustment of status process. I entered the USA prior to this via ESTA.

     

     

    Thanks for clarifying. Then no, you were not issued a US visa in this instance either

    Typo

    *** Topic moved from Bringing Family members (other than spouse) forum to Adjustment of Status Work/Student/Tourist visas forum ***
     

    Follow the guide linked above.

     

    Overstay is forgiven for spouses of US citizens when adjusting but it’s not recommended as you’re subject to deportation. We had a case here where a person was stopped for a traffic stop and ended up in ICE custody.

    How long on average before I’d be able to leave the US to visit my family? 

    If you pay for and apply for I-131, it can take a few months. So anywhere from a couple of months to a year.

     

    Otherwise you’ll have to wait for a GC. You can find processing times for your local field office (LFO) on USCIS website.
