Overstayed visa

[purples]

Hi there,

I overstayed my tourist visa (July 2015) and now i have the interview to get my green card. Ive read in news about people that have gone to the interview and have been arrested/deported, now im afraid of whats gonna happen. Is anyone with a similar case? what happened? did you get your green card? im soo scared.

Thank you in advance.

You came here legally. Your adjustment of status prevents you from being deported unless if you have an outstanding warrant.

The news is pretty good at scare tactic. You'll be fine unless you have an active warrant for something but if that was the case I'm sure ERO would've already picked you up.

As noted above your AOS prevents you from getting deported while the AOS is pending. Worse case scenario they'll deny you and you can refile or they could issue you an NTA (Notice to Appear for immigration court) which isn't all that common for AOS unless there's some sort of fraud suspicion.
