My fiancee entered the US on a visa 14 years ago, but didn't return when it expired. He has lived there since.
I live in the UK and we plan to return to his country to apply for a visa for him to settle here with me in the uk.
1. What can we expect to happen when we leave the US with him having overstayed? Will he be allowed to just leave? ( I know he will have a 10 year ban )
2. How will this affect him obtaining a visa to the UK? Is it likely to be denied because of this?

Nothing.

Yes.

No idea. If they discover he doesn't believe in abiding by immigration
laws, I can't imagine they'd be too happy.

Thanks for all your advice.
We plan on returning to his own country ( Domnican republic) to apply for the visa. We've been told this is the only way to do it?![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
My only concern is he'll be denied the visa because of his overstay in the US. But until we try, I guess we'll never know![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
Thanks again for your advice

Have you seen if it is possible for him to apply for the visa thru the UK Embassy in the US?

I don't know the answers to these questions, but I encourage you to ask them. You may be surprised by the answers.

The forms themselves don't ask about his US status as such.
It does state however that non US residents should apply in their own country. Applying in the US would have made things a zillion times easier.
