I am not sure why you'd think you have to give anything up. You can have dual or triple citizenship, it would not change a thing unless Austria does not allow it. (Ted Cruz's a senator with Canadian citizenship which he did not renounce until running for President )
 
Congrats Lela37

The 10 year bar is automatic upon exit after 1+ year of overstay. If you had left 9 days earlier, it would have only been a 3 year bar.
You can apply for a tourist visa, but until the 10 years is up you are barred. The CO can request a waiver for you, but it's extremely unlikely to happen. After the 10years, you are no longer barred, but it's still not likely to happen given your circumstances (US parents, US fiance/wife by then, etc., history of overstay, etc.). Did you just not mention the violation or did you lie about it in response to a question (in documents or in conversation)? The former has no direct consequences. The latter is misrepresentation. If deemed material, that's a permanent bar. You cannot submit a waiver for a tourist visa. The CO recommends you for one if they see fit. A lawyer will not help. Yes, your parents can file for you. You would fall into F2B preference so long as you are and remain unmarried. ETA: ~7-10 years, assuming no changes to immigration. A USC sibling can petition for you as well, but that wait is like ~15 years or so. If you become engaged, she can file an I-129F (K-1 visa path) for you. Or you can marry (anywhere) and do an I-130 (CR-1/IR-1 visa path). After the interview, if you would otherwise be approved for the visa, you will be refused due to the 10 year bar. At that point, she can file an I-601 waiver on your behalf. It's ~$1000 and will add roughly 6-12 months to the timeline I believe. Just note you can't file until you are refused the K-1/CR-1 visa. Note that she can only sponsor you for permanent residency...she can't help you visit or with other visas. This means you must be ready to 1) marry and 2) live within the US as a permanent resident. If your goal is just to visit your parents, then this is not the path for you. Timelines K-1: ~8-10 months from filing to interview, then ~6-12 months for the waiver. CR-1/IR-1: ~12-14 months from filing to interview, then ~6-12 months for the waiver. If your 10 year bar expires before the interview or before it's worth applying for the waiver, then no waiver is necessary. This assumes you did not make a material misrepresentation (#2 above). If so, the I-601 waiver would also need to waive this. An I-601 is a hardship waiver. Coming from Canada, it may be difficult to show a sufficient hardship, assuming she has the ability to move to Canada instead. Many Canadians are issued an I-601, so don't let that scare you, but you may want to consult a good immigration attorney for this path.

You should try WorldRemit https://www.worldremit.com/en/United-States. I have been using them to transfer money between the US and Canada for the past year. They have a flat fee of $3.99 and max transfer of $40k. 

NOA1 was received today! I'm planning to go to DMV sometime next week and renew my driver's licence. Hopefully they don't give me a hard time!

Good luck Roc, though your proof of status will expire, your status will not!

I am starting to get a bit worried. I've seen a few people whose package was received after mine getting their NOAs or at least get their check cashed. I wonder if this has anything to do with the expiration date on the GC. It seems those with expiring GC get their NOAs much faster than others. Mine expires in May, so maybe they think they have time.

Huh?   They weren't denied..........they just need to submit the documents..

The google sheet is pretty simple to use, in fact, much easier than editing simple text.

Good luck to the March 2018 filers. Would love to help anyone who has questions and concerns. March 2017 filer here. 

What if you had married a US citizen and the marriage failed, would you still demand his removal from the country?
He deceived me not knowing that he had his plans all worked out until he came into the United States. 
How did he deceive you?
We had a baby together and couple of weeks when I got home from the hospital he called the police and moved out .
not much detailed there... Why did he call the cops on you? that tidbit seems important.
 
Like others have said, you can report your suspicions but ultimately he has a very high chance of staying. I advise you not to spend too much time and energy on this and just move on to someone better. He does exist.

Just because he turned out to be an ####### doesn't mean it was fraud. Move on and find someone who loves you and make sure to really get to know him before you get married again.
