  • Sponsoring Wife for I-485

    Hello all,
    I recently became a naturalized US Citizen. I am now considering sponsoring my wife for her Green card. the problem we have is that my wife entered the country through the visa waiver program. usually people under this program can only stay for 3 months at a time in the country and my wife overstayed her last entry by a good 6 months coming to a year now. my question is the following:
    can we still apply I-485 based on her marriage to US Citizen? i have heard somewhere that people could be denied if they enter through the visa waiver program. is there any truth to this?
    please help!!!

    Your wife can't file adjustment of status if she entered the U.S. on visa waiver program.

    You can file her I-130 here and she will have to go through immigrant visa (consular processing) in her country.

      To my knowledge, If you entered under the Visa Waiver Program and get married to a US citizen, you file for adjustment of status within the 90-day authorized period of stay. Correct me if I am wrong
