Out of status issues
I came to US on B2 visa and married after 2 months. I stayed back without changing my visa status for almost 2 years. My husband got his citizenship. Now I am planning to apply for my green card .
Since I have been out of status, will there be any difficulty for me to get the green card? What kind of issues I may face?
Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Being out of status is overlooked if you are applying for a green card based on marriage to a US citizen. Based on very little that youve described about your situation, I think you should not face any problems.

You provided very little information. Did you just stay with your expired visa? Did you work anywhere? Did you claim to be a US citizen? If you are just a regular "overstayer" without committing any crimes, then you should be able to adjust to a legal status without any problems. How long ago did you come to the US and marry your husband? Just FYI, once you file for green card paperwork, dont travel outside the US, no matter how attractive deals to Mexico are, you might land in a hot soup on your way back to the US, even with an Advanced Parole.
Thank you so much for your replies.
I came to US in the year 2007 on tourist visa. After 2 months, I got married to a greencard holder here. I applied for B2 extension for first time which was approved. After that, I just overstayed. I have B2 multiple visa with 10 year validation, but I did not go back to my home country as I was scared that I may not be allowed to enter again as my marriage got registered in US. It has been almost 2 years since my I-94 expired. My husband got his citizenship now and he is planning to apply for my greencard. I am not working and have no legal issues. I just stay at home. Also, my name is included in the taxes.
I am worried that there may be any issues with my greencard. Please advice. If you have any links, please provide.
