If my spouse came into the US as a student and remained illegally, can they apply for a green card without deportation?
My spouse has worked without a valid permit and I have been unemployed for the last 3 years. How does this fact affect me being able to prove financial support?

If you are a US Citizen, then the answer is yes. The fact that you are unemployed will require a co-sponsor to sign an affidavit of support, that's all. The fact that your spouse worked without EAD is irrelevant as far as immigration law is concerned. I would be glad to help. Please call me at 847-444-9000 or write to [email protected]
