A: If you are a US citizen and her sponsoring husband, and she entered the country legally, she may be able to adjust status to get her green card despite that she has overstayed her visa. Discuss with counsel about other issues that could be a bar to admission like criminal history, health issues, etc. Some of us charge very affordable flat fees for immigration cases and counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.
