Fell in Love with out-of-status (student) lady

[Skipper]

Help! Please! I've fallen in love with a wonderful woman who currently in the country illegally. She came here on a valid student visa, but then ran out of tuition money. While not attending, she played and won the green card lottery. She went to USCIS for resulting interview and was denied, since she wasn't currently enrolled and was therefore illegal. SHe was informed that she was subject to deportation. That was about 9 months ago. She has remained here, working, paying taxes, and re-enrolled in school (part time). We plan to marry within the next 2 weeks. I am hoping to then file for an adjustment of status on her behalf (I am a US citizen). I am quite nervous about what might happen. Can anyone help?

Thanks very much!!!!

Her illegal overstay will be forgiven, as well as her illegal work, because she is married to you (an US Citizen).

She needs to inform USCIS of that though, do not lie or conceal the information, there is nothing to worry about.

Good thing that she has been paying taxes.
