Hello,
My original post is "overstay and marriage question."
I entered the US legally, and before returning to my country I met a man who was separated, and we got to know each other and hoped to marry. However, the divorce has been a drawn-out process, and has now resulted in an overstay (more than 1 year) on my part.
I wish I had known how long the divorce would take, and the legal processes and consequences, as it would have been simpler to return home. My fiance is not well off, but my family is, and they may have been willing to pay the necessary fees, but my fiance and I had hoped to marry soon and I made a bad decision to stay instead.
In the meantime, his soon to be ex-wife has found out about our relationship, and can perhaps guess that I am foreign-born. She is causing him as much difficulty as she is able in the divorce process.
I am concerned that I may cause him problems in his divorce, or that she may use me to cause him problems. What I need to know is how easy it would be for her to discover my overstay status if she knows my name, my state of residence, and can perhaps guess the country of my birth, but no more?
We are in a difficult situation right now, but more than anything I wish to protect my fiance, although I do not wish to be separated from him for a period of years either. Any information or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
AO
