K-1 after J-1

[Mloda88 0]

Hello everybody!

I was an au pair in the USA from December '07 to June '09. One thing just wonders me: as an au pair I was allowed to stay one more month after my program ended for the traveling purposes. I spent it with my fiance and his family. Now, when we're filling for the K-1 petition I see on my DS-2019 that I could legally stay in the country until June the 2nd of '09. I am 100% sure I could have stayd the extra month to travel, besides the agency would not have buyed me a ticket beyond my legal stay in the US. My question is: would the immigration people make a problem of it during the interview?

We will send copies of my visa and DS-2019 documents etc I am just affraid that they may look at them and then at the departure records and think that I overstayed my visa. Should I even worry about that??

If you didn't overstay your visa, you have nothing to worry about. You're fine.

no issue...

FWIW, as long as your overstay was less than 180 days then their should be no problem...
