US Citizen married to Overstayed Visitor
Back in 2008(January) I met my wife and we dated for a while and got married in June 2008. Last month ( January 2010 ) I became a US citizen after a good 5 years of residency. Last year we had our Son (Born August 14 2009) in San Francisco, so needless to say our marriage is in good faith
Facts.
My wife overstayed her H1B2 (Visitors Visa) for more than 5 years.
She applied for a labor certificate back when she was still in status and got denied.
Back in 2008, she got a driving violation for driving with an expired drivers license and ordered to pay an amount by the Judge in San Mateo County.
My questions as follows.
With all the facts stated, are we going to have any problem with applying for her change of status.
We are preparing “i-130” Relative Petition and “i-485” Adjustment of Status. Is this the correct route?
With the economy now adays, do you think we can do this by ourselves (without hiring a lawyer to represent us).
