Good Boy, Bad Boy
Hello all,
i'm living in the u.s 10 months over my visa.
I am getting married on monday.
I havent worked illegally whilst being here.
1) Will i be "legally married"?
2) What process should i take afterwards? (forms etc)
3) Will i get booted out of the u.s.?
I'm a relatively good boy, no criminal record, illegal work etc, i just got caught in this strange immigration trap, (i went a week over my 3 months, was about to leave and found out i'd be banned for 3 years).
I'd appreciate ANY advice and answers.
Peace, james

Yes you are legally married and yes you can apply for and if everything is kosher successfully adjust status based on that marriage to a USC. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE US now that you are clearly over the 180 mark.
You will need forms I-130 and I-485. To work you will need form I-765 and your spouse will need to complete and affidavit of support on form I-864.
Good Luck

Re: Good Boy, Bad Boy
If you marry a US Citizen, your illegal stay will be forgiven. You do
not have to have a Good lawyer a bad one would do, or you can just
do it yourself!!!
www.kamya.com/aos You need to file for
Adjustment of Status.
However, if your spouse to be is not a USC, you are screwed and no
lawyer will help.

That depends. Do you have a license? Was it obtained without fraud.
Is the person performin the ceremony license to perform the ceremony.
The legality of marrige is not based on your visa status.

If you go to this INS page, you will see info on this.

You got BAD information. If you OVERSTAY by more than 180 days, you face
a 3 year ban.
So, an overstay of 1 week wouldn't result in a ban.
