Adjustment of Status for B1/B2 Overstay Married to U.S. Citizen
(Rescue Filing – Fast, Legal, Fixable)
If you entered the U.S. on a B1/B2 tourist visa, married a U.S. citizen, and overstayed, you are not alone.
This situation is time-sensitive
Extremely common
Completely fixable (if done correctly)

Every day you wait:
- ⚠️ You cannot legally work
- ⚠️ You cannot travel
- ⚠️ You remain out of status
But here’s the good news…
If you are married to a U.S. citizen, most overstays are forgiven under U.S. immigration law.
Who This Applies To
If you are under one of these categories:
⏱ Adjustment of Status B1 B2 overstay
⏱ Married to a U.S. citizen overstay
⏱ Tourist visa overstay, marriage green card
⏱ I-485 B1 visa marriage
⏱ Adjustment of status after overstay
You may qualify if:
- You entered legally with inspection (B1/B2 visa)
- You married a U.S. citizen
- You overstayed your authorized stay
- You did NOT enter with fraud or false documents
This does NOT apply if:
- You entered without inspection
- You have serious criminal history
- You committed material misrepresentation

The Most Common Mistake
If you arrived as a B1 Tourist and are married to a U.S. citizen, but only filed an I-130, then you need a “RESCUE FILING.”
Why This Is Called a “Rescue Filing”
Most B1/B2 overstays:
You are now married to a U.S. citizen, but you only filed an I-130?
- Filed only I-130 and stopped
- Didn’t file I-485
- Didn’t request work permit
- Didn’t understand eligibility categories
- Waited too long
This creates stress, lost income, and immigration risk.
A properly structured adjustment package solves this.
Timeline Expectations
After filing:
- Receipt notices: 2-4 weeks
- Work permit: 3-6 months (varies by state)
- Interview: 8-18 months average
Once filed correctly, unlawful presence stops accumulating.
Why Acting Now Matters
The longer someone waits:
- No legal employment
- No travel protection
- Greater financial pressure
- Increased stress at interview
This is fixable, but only when done correctly.
