I recently married my girlfriend and am about to file adjustment of status paperwork. I can't afford a lawyer at this stage so hope to find some help here. I have entered the US legally as a student twice in the late 90s and overstayed my visa. I lost my entry passport with my last I94 and I have an arrest with no conviction (case was dismissed - it was a misunderstanding). Questions:
1. Is there any free legal help/consultation for people in my situation in New York City?
2. How can I request a new copy of my original I94 if I don't have that passport number?
3. Does the arrest affect the I485 application even if it was wrongful and did not result in conviction?
4. I have been working and paying taxes for a long time, does that affect the I485 application (positively or negatively)
I know it's a complicated case, that's why talking to a lawyer would be preferable.
