My fiancé visa is about to expire, I got married here in the US but failed to adjust my status. Am I going to get deported?

Justin Wang
Answered by attorney Justin Wang (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Sheppard Mullin
you can file I-485, adjustment of status yourself. Now if you have been in the US for too long, like more than 6 months, CIS may deny your application and in that case, you would need your USC spouse to file I-130 and I-485 together.

How can I fix my wife's papers since her approval for deferred action is about to expire?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
Fixing papers for someone who is married to a USA citizen and entered illegally is a long, complex process, perhaps alleviated in-part, if she gets advance parole after she renews her DACA status.

Will have to leave out of state to do the 10 year punishment or can i ask for forgiveness in the u.s without leaving

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
There is the possibility with DACA beneficiaries that you may solve the problem of illegal entry through applying for and obtaining an advance parole to leave the country for emergent, business, or schooling reasons. Upon return, you may be able to put in an application for adjustment of status along with a waiver of the 10 year bar for having been in the US illegally for over one year. Another alternative is the Obama administration program that allows someone in your situation who is married to a US citizen to apply for the I-601A program under which the application for waiver can be submitted in the US following I-130 petition for alien relative approval. Under the program, you would be allowed to stay in the country during the time that the waiver application is adjudicated. If approved, you would finish your green card case by traveling to the American consulate or embassy in your home country for a regular immigrant visa interview.
