Hi,
This is my first post here, so I'm not sure where to put this thread.
I've been in the US for 12 years now, and have gone through various immigration status from F1 to OPT to H1, and currently waiting for I-485 approval with approved LC and I-140.
My wife came to US on H4 status and we had a son over here.
When my H1 was extended, my lawyer didn't apply for my wife's H4 extension, and when we were filing for our I-485, we found out that she has been illegal for a bout 2 years now.
She is a medical graduate, and is ready to take her USMLE exams in US, but she can't since she has no legal status.
Is there any way she could regain some kind of legal status in US, and persue her carrier, or is it over for her?
Please help.
Thanks.
