Yes, in some cases. If you marry a U.S. citizen or are an immediate relative (spouse, parent, or unmarried child under 21) of a U.S. citizen, you can usually apply for a Green Card through “adjustment of status” even after overstaying your visa. U.S. law forgives visa overstays for these specific family-based cases.

In most other cases, a visa overstay makes getting a Green Card difficult. You may need to leave the U.S. and apply from your home country, but that can trigger a 3-year or 10-year reentry ban depending on how long you overstayed. Some people may qualify for a waiver of inadmissibility, but it’s granted only in limited circumstances.
