Yes, you can and should file for her immediately. She will be forgiven for the long-term visa overstay and unauthorized employment under INA section 245(a). Please review this information and contact me for details and a more specific timeline for her green card. Thank you.

Because your wife entered the US legally and has not left, you should be able to file for her in the US. To ensure that there are no other bars that are not contained in your email, please make an appointment with a competent immigration attorney to fully analyze her case and explain all options.

Yes, you can petition for her. You must be married though. You can marry and have the ceremony at a later date. Speak with an attorney. For a free consultation you may contact my office.
