Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

You should really hire an attorney to handle this for you, particularly if your spouse was here illegally for any length of time. 601 waivers are very difficult even for attorneys to get approved. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.

Your wife is not eligible for adjustment of status at this time because she is in USA illegally and failed to go back to Jamaica when her visa expired.

Yes, the priority dates now are moving very fast. This is not unusual.

If she came to USA on a valid visa, an option could be for you to become a USA citizen, so she can apply when you are a citizen.

I suggest you consult a good immigration lawyer (not a 'notario' or 'specialist') because this situation can be either 'saved' or 'damaged beyond repair'.

There might a few options, but more information is needed.

There can be either a waiver option or if you become a citizen - then depending on how your wife entered USA, she might be able to adjust her status here.
