Legal Question in Immigration Law in North Carolina

Jon,

The answer to this question lies in the type of visa she entered and the code of entry given to her by the CBP officer on her I-94. Feel free to contact me with said information and we can discuss further.

If you plan to marry her (not merely move in together) and you are a US citizen, then she might be able to correct this situation and become a permanent resident (get a green card). Otherwise, there are no other realistic options IF her I-94 had expired and she has been "out of status" for about 2 years in the United States.

If you�d like to schedule a telephone or email legal consultation, need legal advice or help, please let me know and I�d be glad to help you. I am an immigration attorney and offer confidential consultations and legal help in matters of the U.S.A. federal immigration law to clients from all 50 States and internationally. Please email your inquiries at [email protected] and I�ll send you a Questionnaire. Office Telephone line is 1-402-210-2040 (please EMAIL first to schedule a consultation appointment with an attorney).

You can apply for permanent residence on her behalf if you are a US citizen and get married to her.
