- Can I Get a Green Card If I Overstayed My Visa? Here’s What You Need to Know
Here's what you need to know:
💡 Quick Answer: Yes, It’s Possible
If you’ve overstayed your visa but entered the U.S. legally and are now married to a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a green card without leaving the country.
That’s right! You don’t have to leave the U.S. to obtain lawful permanent residency (a green card) — even if your visa expired months or years ago.
✅ Who Usually Qualifies?
You may be eligible if:
-
You entered the U.S. legally (even if your visa expired later)
-
You’re married to a U.S. citizen (not just a green card holder – yet we can help them become a citizen! Ask us how)
-
You have a real, genuine marriage
-
You don’t have serious criminal issues
If all of the above sound like you — don’t wait. You have a path forward.
📝 What’s the Process Like?
-
USCIS will require information about you and your spouse
-
USCIS will process the family petition and your applications, including a work permmit
-
USCIS requires evidence to prove your genuine marriage
🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even though this process is available, it’s easy to make costly mistakes that delay or damage your case. These include:
-
Missing documents or incorrect forms
-
Not proving your relationship well enough
-
Applying too soon or with the wrong timing
-
Having past immigration issues that require waivers
