So you are here illegally and you want to see if there are any late fees for filing a K1? I'm not judging, just putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

If you have overstayed, you are here illegally. There is no such thing as "late fees" to file a K1 visa petition or any visa for that matter. You incur into days of overstaying; the more days you over stay, the more years you will be banned from entering the US.

If that is the case, does that mean I cannot successfully apply to stay through marriage?

I'm sorry but I don't follow... fees on overstaying? Could you be more specific? What's the actual situation for which you need help with?

I have been in the US since last November without filing paperwork. Are there late fees for filing through marriage at this point?

When do late fees accrue on overstaying and what is the rate that you are fined? Also is there anyway around late fees?

First things first, you need to get a passport. That should be done through the UK consulate. http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/passports/lost-or-stolen/

Under normal circumstances "out of status" time is forgiven for the spouse of a USC. When did your authorized stay expire? Did you enter on VWP?

It expired January 28th. we got married April 21st. I entered on a visitors pass from the UK.

Thank you all, I will get right on that.

I decided to get married in America while visiting my family for the holidays. I got some poor advice from Catholic charities and now seem to be in a bit of a pickle. We got married a couple of months after it expired and are getting the money for the paperwork together. Now Ive gone and lost my bloody passport with the visa stamp in it. I dare not go near Immigration to ask questions as I am currently illegal. Can anyone help?
