Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
Overstayed Visa Waiver
Someone please help! I entered the
US on the Visa Waiver Program (I
-94W) and have overstayed for
several years. My boyfriend is a US
born citizen, but we are not married.
I have no children. I have no
criminal record and no legal issues
except for overstaying the visa.
My questions are:
1) What are my options for getting
legal status (of any kind) here in the
US?
2) What options do I have to return
to the US later if I were to leave?
(voluntary departure)
Thank you in advance, any advice
would be appreciated.

Re: Overstayed Visa Waiver
If you get married to your US Citizen boyfriend...you will get greencard without leaving the country.
Re: Overstayed Visa Waiver
If you marry your boy friend, he can file for permanent residency for you.
If you leave the US before your permanent residency is granted, you will be barred for re-entry for 10 years, unless you file for a waiver.
Please send me an email if you need further help.
