If you mistakenly indicated "will adjust status in the US" in the I-130, you will need to file an I-824 to notify the USCIS and NVC that the beneficiary will do consular processing. Work with an immigration attorney.
As mentioned im 22 and unmarried, I do have a baby here in the usa, I know that doesn’t change anything. I’m just curious to know if I could apply and adjust my status given my overstay. My dad is a Us Citizen

I am on F1 visa and studied in the united states. Currently working as an RN Nurse with my OPT. My employer got an approved i140 on my behalf, with Priority date of December 2023, but I was told they cannot file i485 & 1765 petitions until my priority date becomes current.

A single DUI conviction, with no aggravating factors, is not usually found to fit any of the grounds for inadmissibility or deportation. Better to get assistance from an immigration attorney when he applies for US citizenship.
