Overstayed visa, adjustment of status?
Hello,
Im 28 years old, unmarried, came to US in 2002 and overstayed my tourist B1/B2 visa. However, my US citizen father filed I-130 for me in august, 2002, which was recently approved. I would like to know if Im still eligibale for adjustment of status (I-485) even though I overstayed my visa?
All thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Yes, you are eligible to apply for Adjustment of Status, but you must wait until your priority date is current before filing I-485?, right now the first preference is processing cases from August 01 ...

On what basis do you believe the original poster can file an I-485? Theres an overstay here that has triggered the 10-yer re-entry bar, the I-130 is filed as FB1 and doesnt quality for 245i.
Our original poster has a SERIOUS problem.
You are correct, only immediate relatives (spouses, minor children and parents of a US citizen) may apply for adjustment of status regardless if they overstayed...At first I thought it was all children of a citizen, not only minors....
