Correct. It is not retroactive....unlawful presence would only start accruing after that date if you were 1) in the US, 2) no longer maintaining F-1 status, and 3) had no other form of authorized stay (like a pending I-485).

One more thing, 

Just curious. Since F-1 is normally admitted as D/S, and there is no accrued unlawful presence until *either USCIS or an IJ determines as such.*. 

Does that mean people who were out of status for even more than 365 days then leave the US. And that won't even trigger a bar?

yes once you exit you get an overstay ban! that makes sense!

 

Thank you for this new information! i feel out of the loop:/ i have been busy working/traveling alot and havent been on here much!  but that is interesting and makes sense! appreciate this information:) 

Yes! I saw the new policy as well. But just to make sure.

This new policy will not affect my case, correct?

*This policy is changing in August 2018.

Thank you!

I had overstayed my F-1 student visa after the end of my OPT for 107 days or 47 days if you count the grace period. It happened 1 year ago. 

I am going to my CR1 interview married to a US citizen. There has been 0 hiccup so far. I was honest and stated it clearly in my application to NVCthat I had an overstay. 

Has anyone experienced this before?

What should I be prepare for the interview?

I have sent NVC my packet and already got my interview date schedule on 26 June 2018. (CR1)

At the time we sent the documents. We had sent his Paystubs and Employment letter stating his hourly wage 20/hour and saying his current income is 41,600. He wrote a letter explaining that his job is an electrician and is working for a well-established company.

But my concern is because his 3 recent tax years show adjusted gross income of 18xxx (2015,2016,2017) (Just me and my husband)

I think that would be what they are weighing the decision on the most?

Anyway, NVC accepted it and did not ask for RFE or a joint sponsor. They said they got all document requested then another e-mail informing the interview date.

But now that my interview is coming up. Do you think it would be wise for me to fill an updated I-864 and include my 41k cash in my account as Assets of the principal sponsored immigrant and also update his raise to 21/hr that he just got including paystub?

My background is I got a master degree on a student visa in America. All legal. I had also worked legally for 1 year there. Then I came back to Thailand and filed this CR1 visa.
I am not sure how much of me as person play a part in this?
