Re: expired K-1 visa

You asked about a person here on an expired K-1 visa.

It's not an uncommon problem. But you need to get to work on fixing it. Since she arrived legally she is in a much better position than someone who arrived illegally. Moreover, if the cause for flight from the previous affiance can be demonstrated there is much more likelihood of reasonable treatment.

Get he and she to an immigration attorney that is a member of the immigration bar (AILA).

Regards,

Roger
