Hi,

All sponsorship paperwork can be filed with the USCIS and you should be able to adjust status in the U.S. since you initially entered the U.S. legally even if you remained in the U.S. beyond your authorized stay. The following page from our website is helpful: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm

You can call our law firm during business hours at 212-268-3580 or email info@h1b1.com for guidance.

If you entered with a tourist visa and merely overstayed, then you should qualify for permanent residence based on marriage to a US citizen.

Please find detailed information on the process here:

You do not have to leave the country to adjust status. I suggest you speak with and retain an immigration attorney to help you with this matter. For a free consultation please visit my website and fill out the form or give me a call at 212 537 4407. Good luck.

If you entered the United States legally with a tourist visa and overstayed, you can adjust your status (get a green card) without leaving the United States if you marry a U.S. Citizen.

Talk to an immigration lawyer who can guide you through the process and help you with the application process.
