This is not true why they no??
A: You should consult with a competent immigration attorney. Speaking generally, however, actions such as overstaying one's expiration date of status and violating status (e.g., failing to attend classes as required under F-1 status) can be forgiven through an "immediate relative" (e.g., spouse of U.S. Citizen) Petition for Relative and Application to Adjust Status cases, to the extent that one is otherwise eligible for adjustment of status. Facts such as past criminal convictions and more serious immigration violations can disqualify one for adjustment of status. You should schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney who can answer in detail any questions you may have and who can explain the entire process to you, as well as flush out any possible pitfalls in your prospective case. Congratulations on your marriage!
