i lived here for 2 yrs overstay,and would like to be legalized.what should i do ? everyone say its imposible coz my visa is c 1 d . i do not want to go back to my country (indonesia).please help.
This is unfortunate. A C-1/D-2 crewmember is an extremely restrictive visa. This type of visa holder cannot adjust status as a matter of law. Marriage to a U.S. Citizen usually won't even help unless they somehow qualify for Section 245(i).
To make such a favorable Section 245(i) determination is unlikely, even if conceivable. An approvable immigration petition had to be filed for you or a parent on or before April 30, 2001.
In addition, there is no legalization at this time. If you have any other thoughts about becoming a permanent resident, I strongly recommend that you discuss this with a candid, ethical, and experienced immigration attorney.
The above is general information and does not create an attorney client relationship.
