As a spouse of a USC, your overstay and unauthorized work will be forgiven by USCIS.  Your biggest pitfall will be about any prior claims to US citizenship, since you mentioned that you assumed you were a USC.  If there is any form or document (like school or driver's license forms) where you said you're a USC, that could screw up your chances for AOS.  How did you get SSN if you had no passport or birth certificate?

 

I don’t have ssn. I have never had any sort of state or US issued ID. Only thing I have is my passport that I got issued after I was able to get a copy of my original birth certificate 😕 as far as the school form thing, I’m honestly not sure because as a teen I was fully 100% under the belief I was. Not until my mom dropped the bomb on me but since then I obviously have just tried my best to fly under the radar for fear of being deported

did u come with or without inspection? 

with inspection = overstay

without inspection = undocumented

Overstay. my foia came back with an I-94 that had some sort of travel document number 

As the title says, I’m about to file AOS after a 23ish year overstay. I came here at 4 and was never told anything of my immigration status so I always assumed I was a citizen. I found out after getting into the college of my dreams that I couldn’t go basically because I was undocumented. After DACA came out, I couldn’t file for that because my original passport had been lost/destroyed and I had no birth certificate to get a copy. I had no contact from both parents until 2021 and was finally able to track down a copy of my birth certificate from my birth country and get a passport. I’ve NEVER been arrested, no tickets, citations, no drivers license or ssn. I’ve since fallen in love  and we got married after I finally was able to get a passport. We did a foia to confirm that I entered w/ inspection. Now we’re preparing my AOS packet and I’m worried that having been undocumented for so long will hurt my case ☹️ I know unauthorized work is forgiven because he’s USC but worried out my mind
