I have a friend who is torn by a situation that happened long ago, it really is not me, and I think he does not have anything to worry about but I really dont know much about immigration law to advise him correctly, so I promised to bring it to you guys for advice:

He is an Morrocan citizen who came here around 84 on a student visa, he used to get his money from home every 2 months and it came like clock work, so he would go and pay by checks in the beginning of the months this continued for 3 years till the bad day the company that sent him the money (scholarship) went out of business but he was not told, so he went and wrote the checks but no money and all the checks bounced, he called home was sent some money but the bank took almost all of it to cover the bounced checks fees.

He had to leave school, and find work, a couple of years later, early 90s he called the company with the biggest check to pay it, was told that they dont have it and to call the DAs office called and talked with the bad checks office and they have no record under his name.

He got married and started his 485 application. he had to go to Special registration in 2003 and they checked him out and they did not find anything, in 2004 he got his 10 year green card. He was fp for both 485 application and for registration.

The question: Does he have anything to worry about?

P.S, this is detailed account because he is sitting with me while typing this.
 
So he bounced some checks in the late 80s and he's worried now if it will affect his immigration status?
Also, what was his status in the US after he had to leave school and find work?
 
I believe he overstayed his visa, so he had no status... He tried to pay but too late.
