Hi, everyone. I went to school in the US as a child for a few years because of my father's job. I was on the H-4 visa issued to dependents of H1 visa holders. When my dad extended his H1-B, he assumed that my H-4 would be automatically extended. It wasn't and it turns out that 9 year old me was technically overstaying my visa for at least a year, maybe more, before my family returned to India. While exiting the US, we weren't asked about the overstay on my passport at all and no acknowledgement of it was ever made by anyone from the US government, or the airline. That was the only time I travelled to the US, one entry and one exit. Now my American wife and I are about to file the I-130 petition. And I'm wondering whether this overstay will affect it in any way? Will I be forced to declare it and justify it at some point? I'm hopeful that it is fine because 1) I was a minor at the time 2) It has been more than 10 years since I left the US Any guidance would be really appreciated, thanks. -
Hi all, Husband USC, Me UKC Since me and my husband have started this process and he has gone home, and found himself again, but now he wants to split from me and stay friends. Obv, I'm heartbroken but I'm not going to beg him to stay, because I think his long distance work has caused him to be too tired to continue with this. That being said, I overstayed my ESTA in 2017, by less than 180 days. Regardless I know I'll never be able to get an esta again. We haven't received NOA2 yet and I have yet to have that conversation with him about what happens then. I don't think he will pay NVC or go ahead. I would like to visit at some point so I can collect my belongings if it's really over, but I don't have strong tie to the UK with being married to a USC. I had cut all ties here knowing I was following him. So all I have is a job, I live in my parents spare room and no car finance or mortgage etc I just pay rent to my mum. Will I be able to obtain a visit visa from the embassy or will I have to wait for the NVC stage to expire?? Thanks in advance. X -
I came to the Us in 2020 on an esta to spend time with my boyfriend. However my country Australia was making it very difficult to get back so the US kept extending my visit untill June 2021. I found out I was pregnant and stayed and had the baby. Me and my boyfriend then decided to get married. However I need to go back to Australia due to a family emergency next month. What ways can i go about this so I wont be banned. I am fine with staying here in Australia for longer than a few months. Also to mention spouse is a former service member. -
My fiancé overstayed her ESTA back in 2020 because her airline cancelled her tickets on multiple occasions. (They kept rescheduling then canceling the airline eventually went out of business.) she never intended to overstay and in fact was planning to go home. She eventually had gotten another ticket when her father begrudgingly agreed to get her a ticket while they were outrageously overpriced. I am wondering if this will affect our K-1 petition (we are September Filers).
