    Okay, thanks! Yet another form, more $$$, and more wait time. :wacko:
    Overstaying a visa can be a costly mistake.

    Marco is not doomed, just will hit a speed bump.

    Hey thanks again. Yea, I've warned him that it'll be a "major hurdle."

    I wonder: Do people in this situation have to file a letter of "extreme hardship" along with the I-601? Is this always necessary?

    Hello VJ Peeps,

    I’m writing for some friends of mine, in hopes that someone reading this has been in similar circumstances and can offer suggestions as to best handle the following situation. Here’s the story:

    Marco came here to the States from Brazil , on a tourist visa. I do believe he overstayed the visa (probably more than a year…). While here, Marco met and fell in love with Lisa – a U.S. citizen. They’ve been together for about a year and a half now. About a month ago, Marco had to go back to Brazil , as his dad was very ill (and passed away a several days after Marco got home). Lisa and Marco had been thinking about getting married, but hadn’t made any solid plans. Now they’re wondering: Should they go ahead and file for Marco to come back on a fiancé visa? Is this possible? Or should they get married in Brazil and then file for a spousal visa?

    Is Marco automatically doomed, seeing that he overstayed his last visa??? He wasn't deported - he left on his own...if it matters.

    So, we did it! Paul went for the interview yesterday (Friday the 13th..heehee), and walked out with his "Welcome to America" paperwork! Yippee-Yahoo! Just some loose ends to tie up in Oz, and he'll be on his way home. We're shooting for his arrival on the weekend of May 12th, as our anniversary is on Sunday, May 13th.

    Thanks to All for your support and well wishes and the best to everyone on their visa journey!

    Hello Bombay,

    I dare say to sit tight...it's a little too soon to be stressing yourself out with trying to reach someone at the USCIS. Still, the waiting is hard :clock: , we all know. Just keep busy, say your prayers, and know that your time will come. And let us know when it does so we can :dance: with ya!

    Cheers,

    Cheryl

    Hello everyone,

    Gotta share: Got back from lunch today, back to my dreary corporate cube, and decided to login to USCIS for the umpteenth time this month...BEHOLD! Touched last night, I knew, but again today...so I click on my case number and nearly fell outa my chair when I read: "This case has been approved. On August 21, 2006, an approval notice was mailed." Hubby just happen to call me, right as I was clicking my way to the website. What timing!!! So great to share with him, at that very moment.

    The puddle is shrinking :dance:
