Im new here and have some questions
Im married to my husband a USC and we also have a son together who was born 2 months ago.
Now I originally came to the US to study and play college soccer and I did...I met my now husband.
Hes in the military and got deployed and I decided to take a semester break...my friend whose husband was also deployed needed help with her kids and asked me if I could stay with her a little longer.
I did, not knowing I was overstaying my visa. My visa in my passport says that it expires in 2008...but after doing research on the internet I found out that I overstayed? Is that right?
My husband came home from Iraq after 12 months the beginning of this year but in the mean time he came home on R&R and thats how we got pregnant.
I was in the process of enrolling and transfering to a different university until we found out that I was pregnant.
Anyways, Im enrolled in the military system and have my military and such...
they told me I needed to get a social security number but we have no clue where to start.
Now Im scared that I have to leave my husband and my son behind. I love my family dearly and I wish I had some more knowledge about my status before deciding I was going to take a semester off....with another 6 months off following that. I just wish I could take my husband to my home country and just stay there...but hes in the army and probably will be until he retires.
Should I contact a lawyer asap? Im not sure if the military attorneys would be much of a help....I guess the only help I can get is by prayer and hope that God will give me strength to go through this.
Thank you in advance.
Well we got married this past June, before our son was born.
yes, contact lawyer. but you should be fine since you came here legally and marrying a citizen. so unless along the way you did something else that leaves you out, you are okay.
good luck and i pray your husband, along with the rest, comes back soon and safe. he is doing a honorable and noble thing. thank him for me.
If your Visa was a student Visa and you are not currently enrolled in School,
Then you are "out of status"
Since you entered the country legally, and are married to a USC your Out os status will be forgiven once you file I-485 with your USC husband files I-130 on your behalf.
Do not leave the country and get yur I130 / I485 submitted ASAP.

I do not see an issue for you, provided that you file the I130/I485 package ASAP. You should not need an attorney for this, unless there are other complicating issues that you are not mentioning.
Incidentally, plan to handle the paperwork this time round a little more carefully --- ignorance is not an excuse in immigration law in most matters. Besides, I sincerely doubt your ignorance. A study visa is for study... generally,when one no longer studies, one is out of status. Not that complicated.
These matters are important -- treat it with the deserved respect.
Best wishes
