Please help. I-94 expired long ago.

[fnordbeyond]

I am a recent US Citizen through my mother.

I married my girlfriend who has been living and working in the US for the past ten years on an expired tourist visa. Her I-94 has expired long ago.

We just recently got married in Reno, NV.

What forms do we have to fill out in order for her to get a green card?

I-130?
485?

Does the I-130 have to be approved before the 485? Or can I submit them at the same time?

I have the I-130, but it asks for the I-94 number and expiration date. Will the I-130 be denied since she has been expired for over 5 years?

Thanks

Refer to the main immihelp page and look for Adjustment of Status. That has details that you are looking for. As long as she entered legally, the I-94 expired does not matter if married to a US Citizen.

Your wife needs to stop working immediately. Did she pay taxes on these wages? did she obtain a **** SSN?

She will have to disclose any illegal employment (even though that is not a bar from AOS process) she should not lie about it and she needs to catch up with her IRS taxes if she has not.
