I just got married with a US citizen being out of stayus. I entered with visitor visa almost a year ago
A couple days before my I-94 expired I filed for extension of staying and I had been dating my now husband just for a couple weeks. While waiting for the response a month later, we engaged and we planned in getting married in February, but since they notify me that my extension was denied they gave me 30 days to leave the country that was at the end of november.We anyway planned in getting married but a month earlier but after the 30 days they gave me. In the application for the extension I lied about working without permit. I have been working without working permit and I am afraid the can send me back to my country to adjust status. I am not afraid about that they can think that our marriage is fraud or not, or if they think that I came to the US just to get married, because any of those are true and I have proofs of that. My real fear is that they can ban me or punish me because I lied about my work activity here. Can they really deport me for that or ask me to leave?? We are planning to do all the papers before the 6 months of overstay.
Just to clarify to the candydesilva that it seems you don't have good reading comprehension skills because, I never said I lied at the port of entry (because I didn't), also I didn't married after a couple weeks dating, but after 6 months, also I think you are not well informed because and I don't need the permission of any entity neither the USCIS to get married....
Good, that I went through all the process and I got my residence lawfully, I file a I-601 along with the I-130 & I-485 and after a couple months I got approved and now I am a legal permanent resident of the United States. I hope that people that answer questions here be more careful and more informed. I want to say thanks to Nikki Tavia Bogle for her answer.
