I overstayed my visa by a few months, but I am now eligible for a family-based green card through my spouse. Can I still adjust my status from within the U.S.?

Yes, you may be able to adjust your status despite overstaying your visa if you are an immediate relative (spouse, parent, or child) of a U.S. citizen.

The overstay won’t affect your ability to apply for a green card through a U.S. citizen spouse.

If you’re an immediate relative, you can file for adjustment of status without needing to leave the U.S.

For other family-based categories, overstays may complicate your case and require a waiver or consular processing.

It's critical to consult with an immigration attorney to ensure your adjustment application is handled correctly.
