Legal Question in Immigration Law in Guam

I am a US citizen Living in Guam My wife of 3 years is Japanese. My wife originally entered the US Via a visa waiver program as a tourist in Guam and we have since married and had a baby born here in Guam but as a result she has overstayed in the US By three years. I am finally in a position to file for a change of status for her to get a green card, and I wish for her to stay here in Guam while her application is processing. My question is her having overstayed so long going to be a serious problem and do you recommend doing so on my own or should i hire a lawyer to assist me.

Her overstaying the 90 day time period violates the terms of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Accordingly, she can be ordered removed from the country without a trial because she waived that right when she accepted the conditions of the VWP. Therefore, you need to take immediate action.

Hi,

All sponsorship paperwork including adjustment of status should already have been filed prior to expiration of the 90 day window for which your wife was permitted to remain in the U.S. However, it is not too late for your wife to be sponsored and for her to adjust status within the U.S.: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm
