he has a valid visa! And his immigration status was fully disclosed in both applications. 

I think the misunderstanding is probably about the "valid visa" part. Let's say a visitor has a visa that expires on May 2024. In each entry, he or she is granted 6 months of stay. 

 

If he/she overstays, the visitor Visa is no longer valid because they violated the terms of their visa. The expiration date will continue to be May 2024 but that is now immaterial.

 

So maybe what the previous post wanted to know was, what valid visa does your husband have at the moment, since his visitor Visa was voided the moment he overstayed?

Wow. Ok.......

 

"What valid visa does your husband have at the moment" doesn't sound like an irrelevant question to the process, but at the end of the day, it's up to you to learn more about the rules (or not).

 

Good luck with your immigration journey.

You must file with updated forms, as using outdated ones results in the whole packet being rejected.

 

Your husband must go through the whole medical again as USCIS requires the form I-693 to be signed by a civil surgeon no more than 60 days before filing the petition.

Thank you! I will do new forms and get the medical form as well.

You might have meant well, but I wasn’t  looking for comments about my husbands immigration status. I had specific questions and lots were commenting unrelated to my questions.

Good luck to you as well!

Was the 8 U.S. Code § 1324 harboring explicitly disclosed on the N-400 and/or the interview? https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1907-title-8-usc-1324a-offenses

Yes I told my IO and I wrote his overstay status on the N400 as well

Not sure if several posters were being well meaning or just scaremongering in terms of the OP husbands status. There is genuine fear with all the new rules and seemingly tighter restrictions on citizenship etc..

 

My take is that IF a person overstays their visa and you happen to be in a committed relationship then living together is a no no as you are aiding and abetting someone who's violated their original visa according to some people's opinion.

 

On the flip side, should you then want to AOS etc with this "overstayer" how are you going to prove you have a genuine relationship? as lots of the evidence people take are bills, leases etc io them living together.

It might be just me not getting it. 

 

Reading through the thread I do see why the OP became frustrated as it may look to her like people are ready to pounce and take glee from the apparent transgressions that "may" have occurred. OP did their best to keep it on topic to the specific help that was being requested.

 

Having said that we should all be mindful of our responses, this medium is very difficult to ascertain anybody's true intentions, it might be genuine concern or it might not be. Have a thicker skin, you can choose to take the advice they were offering or leave it.

 

My personal opinion, you have nothing to concern yourself with, you've hidden nothing on the forms.

Everybody (on countless boards has said during interview time, answer only the questions asked, don't offer up more than is needed)   That in mind, have you done anything illegal? I can't say but I wouldn't worry about obtaining the services of lawyers etc as some have suggested, it's a step too far.

 

as for the forms... we are talking minimal effort in downloading and inputting the information you already have, to what you will know is definitely the most up to date forms.... why risk it?

 

I think you are resigned to having your husband completing  a new I-693... put it down to a learning experience!

 

Dont be put off asking further questions... remember though you might not always like the responses you receive!

 

best of luck
