Hi,
If your wife is presently in the U.S., and initially entered the U.S. legally (even if authorized stay has expired) she can file for adjustment of status within the U.S.: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm
You can call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email [email protected] for guidance.
Whether she can adjust status (get her green card while in the U.S.) depends on a number of factors. She must have entered the country with inspection and she must be an immediate relative. An immediate relative is a spouse, parent or child of a U.S. Citizen. Before filing for adjustment of status, she should also ensure that there are no grounds of inadmissibility that would prevent her from obtaining a green card. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 415-273-9123 for further assistance.
