More details to this question:
Her visa expired a few years ago and she is scared to go back to renew her visa because they might not give to her. We plan on getting married and I am a US citizen so I know I could give her papers but how would the process be? As an 18 year old can we start the process? She has no crimminal record and she doesn’t see DACA as an option because she wants to live here legally and have a life rather than it be temporary.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you can sponsor your wife-to-be for a green card, as long as she entered the country with permission. If she is now in overstay status, this typically won’t be a problem. It’s important to work with an attorney to ensure all paperwork is filed correctly to avoid mistakes. A reasonable flat fee for this process should not exceed $2,500—anything higher may be excessive. You can retain an immigration attorney from anywhere in the U.S., as they handle cases nationwide and globally. When will you turn 18?
