Since relocating from Ghana to California, I’ve been trying to understand what options are available for people who came to the U.S. without a visa or overstayed their visa. Some say marriage to a U.S. citizen helps, others mention humanitarian relief. But I keep hearing about "Adjustment of Status" and "Consular Processing" and I’m confused. If someone is undocumented or out of status, what’s the real difference between these two paths? Are there any risks involved in choosing one over the other? Which process is safer or faster when you're already in the U.S. without valid status?
