Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
My boyfriend came here from legally on a work and student visa about 9 years ago. He over stayed his time and did not renew his visa. What are our options? If we were to get married, would he be deported to go through a process or would he be allowed to stay in the US during the process because he came here legally?

Hi,
Your husband (when you are married) will be able to adjust status in the U.S. based on initial legal entry to the U.S. Additional information is here: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm
You can call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email [email protected] for guidance.
If he arrived legally, he'll be able to adjust his status to permanent residence by marrying a US citizen and applying for adjustment of status.
You may find free information on the process as well as my services here:

As discussed above, as long as your boyfriend entered the country legally, he is eligible to adjust status through marriage to a U.S. citizen pending any past criminal or fraud issues. If you would like to discuss your situation further, you may call my office at (888) 565-9993 or e-mail me at [email protected].
