Another Divorce Thread

Yes your right, we don't know both sides of the story. But we have no way of knowing his side so, do you just ignore the OP's question because you need both sides of the story? This forum is not a court. It's a blog of ideas and the OP asked for our "ideas" on what would be her options. That's all it is.

If her overstay has reached 180 days (which seems likely given the timeline you gave) then she has a three year bar from the US that will be activated as soon as she departs. If her overstay reaches 365 days then it will become a ten year bar, again activated on her departure.

Hypnos, since she's past the 180 days is filing the AOS even an option for her anymore? Or is that barred now also?

Would this apply even though they got married inside the 90 days as required? I thought that once they were married, overstay was a non issue. Or is that just when it comes to the adjustment of status?

To the op: What is the cause of the unhappiness? If just because of boredom, or something along those lines I'd say give it time.

If its deeper, like hubby not wanting to let her out of the house, or have total control over her, well, that's too deep for me, need real help to get out of that kind of situation.

Hoping for the best for your friend.

Bendinlar,

What is the cause of the unhappiness? The best that I can tell is that it's a typical combination of issues between boredom of not having any ability to drive, work, travel, etc, and several basic relationship conflicts. One might be resolved with legal status, I'm not sure about the other.

There is not an actual stated deadline for completing AOS. I have read of a couple that didn't do it for a year.

This sounds very fishey to me. There is always two sides to every story. I for one would like to know his before everyone labels him the bad guy

Luthias & Lee,

I completely agree that all stories have two sides. That's why I attempted to only make statements of fact and stayed away from anything personal or damaging about her husband. Sorry if I wasn't completely successful in that.

It would be an option if she had a legitimate marriage. Overstay does not stop someone who legally entered the US from adjusting if they are an immediate relative of a US citizen, such as a spouse.

Hank, thank you for your thoughts on the thread. You have helped my fiance and I countless times through out this process. Usually this was simply by me reading your comments on other posts. My sincere gratitude. (and no doubt thousands of others as well!)

Hypnos, thank you for the clarification. They do have a legitimate marriage. I'll be sure to let her know that it is still one of many options to consider.
