My opt ended in aug 31st and you are granted 60 days after to leave. Based on that I'm currently around 100 days of overstay.

do they give you 60 days to leave before they count it as overstaying or is your authorized stay extended for 60 days? I'm not sure how it is counted and if they do not extend your stay then you only have 20 days till the 3 year ban.

 

good luck

CR1 would take roughly a year.   My advice, continue with your AOS, if you can't make it to your sis' wedding send an expensive gift and a huge apology.   But by all means let her

You are in Canada and your wife submit a petition for a spouse visa. It takes around a year to get. You can visit but not live in the US all this time. 

After you get the visa you get your GC. You might have to have a waiver for your overstay. 

 

Honest it would be a lot easier to just stay and get the GC now you are here and just miss your sisters wedding. Sounds hard but it is what it is.

I couldn't have said it better myself. 

 

Given the time frame you're under, it's a choice of living with your spouse and adjusting or going to the wedding, waiting a year from when her gets citizenship/changes your petition, and risk not visiting/being banned for your overstay.

buy a big tv, good speaker and a nice Web cam. send those to your sister. then get a good Web cam and good mic for you then you can Mc the wedding from Florida. think of these as I'm sorry I couldn't attend gifts and still get her a really nice gift.

 

good luck

If given the choice of one day at a wedding or over a year being separated from my spouse it is not a difficult decision.
Surely your sister would chose her spouse over attending your wedding if the shoe was on the other foot. I think I would
kill my spouse if he put priority on his sister's wedding. :o

Wanted to be sure she didn't marry a usc to immigrate. When you leave you will be stick in Canada because of the overstay. If you beat the bar flag it will shorten the time apart as you won't be hassling with a waiver.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

F1 is usually D/S so maybe no overstay.

There is also the Expedite option, always a bit of a guess if you can get to expedite your AP.

DO NOT LEAVE! Seriously, u want to make this immigration journey harder then it is? Overatay is forgiven when married to a USC. 

 

Sorry, its just a wedding...lots of us have missed importanr events and lots of relatives (including parents) have missed our events. Welcome to the world of immigration. 

 

At least it isnt a death. Tell ur sister ur sorry..ita just a wedding it will go by quick. Ur life would be impacted by going home tbh. Why make this journey harder on u?

And their is NO way u will get a visitor visa during the waiting process. 

 

This will cost u more money in the long run. If its worth it to be seperated 1.5ish years then go to the wedding. Ur wife will be able to visit u during this time.

You are a bad hombre.  You are SOL because you chose to overstay.


You have two choices; 1) stay in the US to AOS and miss your sister's wedding, or 2) go to your sister's wedding and wait around a year for an immigration visa with no chances to visit because of your overstay.

 

There is absolutely no way that your wife will receive her oath and for you to get AP in time.  A wedding is not a reason for an expedite.  It will take at around 90 days for you to get AP.  That's not enough time between your wife's interview and your sister's wedding.

 

Best of luck.

Explain to your sister that attending her wedding means a year long separation from your wife.  Ask her if she would have attended your wedding in the US if it would cause a 1 year separation for her and her fiance.  When the shoe is on the other foot.

 

Best of luck.
