Just Bob.... with respect mate i disagree...a overstay can & do get forgiven via the London embassey 601 waiver route and "not impossible" neither....takes time to process plus hardship letters from the usc & immigrant, plus a wack evidence showing the usc & maybe children/Family is having real hardships, with being seperated from her immigrant "husband" plus the uscis/dhs shakes you upside down for more $$$ for your 601 waiver...

Ive been down this route myself...so i have first hand at this...i knew i was going to get denied at my 130 interveiw there in london, but i had my 601 waiver plus my hardship letters, plus supporting documents ready to drop in the officers hands there and then at interveiw..at the time it took 10 wks for the us emabssey to contact myself to say that my 130 &601 was approved..

Not sure how long the London US Embassey takes to process 601 waivers nowadays and how they process....but i do know there not as half bad as most countries.

My advice to the other o.p would be.. goto the 601/212 waiver post and that would give a better idea of what it takes... but this is very durable and you can survive a 100mph crash into a wall !... that's if you have ya armor with you of course..

Thank you so much for this post, we will likely follow this route and at least try. What a horrible and heartbreaking mistake we have made! Of course we accept responsibility and will do whatever we need to. Thanks again.

Is this your husband? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/292283-im-in-uk-wife-is-in-the-states-been-apart-now-5-months/page__pid__4427907#entry4427907

That's him, he didn't tell me he posted.

Slightly off topic...

How does someone who has been a member of this site for almost three years not know this stuff?

I visited, forgot to bookmark, couldn't remember the site! Finally found it again, thanks for asking.

My husband came to the US 5 years ago on a visa waiver. We got married and have been married for almost 3 years. For reasons too numerous to mention, we have not filed his AOS yet, and he went back to the UK for his sons wedding. We thought it would be better to file the AOS with him not being in the country illegally but have since learned that he should have stayed here and now we are afraid we can't get him back home. Heartbroken and confused, I was wondering if any of you kind people can direct me as what I should do next? He got a NEW passport this past summer because his old one expired. Thanks for any help you can give us.
