Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / November 2004

Hi,

   I married a Mexican woman who entered the country on a tourist visa and
has overstayed. She has supported herself and her two kids by working and
has paid taxes using her Tax ID #.

   Can someone point me to instructions on how/where to apply for change of
status, green card, etc? This woman is a college graduate with a degree in
Biochemistry and has worked as the plant manager for a food processing plant
and a mathematics teacher in Mexico.

   I stumbled across one site hosted by a prominent attourney, containing
lots of info on this subject,  but I haven't been able to find it since.

   And is there any way to get a waiver of filing fees? If I remember
correctly, it costs almost $800 simply to FILE the numerous required forms,
which must be filed simultaneously.

Thanks for your time and attention
