HI everyone,

I came in US in June 2008 as a exchange student for 3 months, J1 visa (2 years rule does not apply). In September 2008 I applied in US for a B1 visa for 6 months and reapplied for another tourist visa in March 2009 also in US, I had the second B1 visa until July 2009. Since that time I was out of status.

After dating my girlfriend for almost 2 years we decided to get married in Oct this year. She is a born US citizen. We want to apply for my AOS but I am not sure what is my current status according to USCIS on form I-485 and I-765 box 15 , J1 or B1?.

Thanks for your help.

B2. I simply refuse to accept that you got a B1 only. A B1/B2 perhaps, but not a B1.

Check it. Physically.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

More opinions folks on what should I put? Just want to make sure

Well it asks for your "current" status, not the status 2 years ago... So put B2 in there, if you wanna make sure, just put "expired" or "overstayed" behind it, you have to put the expiration date into the form either way, so they will see.

Kzielu already said everything :)
