I recently returned from the states after over staying my visa. I went over to the US to visit my GF and we decided to marry. USCIS said we could etc. We were in a car accident which wasnt our fault. My wife lost her job cause of the injuries. We had saved money for my paper work i have had my medical and passed that, but we had bills etc to pay and we had to use my paperwork fund. In the end she couldnt afford to support myself my step daughter and herself and i couldnt work so i made what i thought was the honest tough decision which was to come home to ireland to work. Since i have been home she got a new job which pays really good and her parents have said we could move in with them while we get my paperwork sorted. My question is this if she books me a ticket and i go to shannon to fly out, what are my chances of getting past immigration. I did everything honestly and i never tried to cheat the system. can anyone tell me what my chances might of getting through. thanks

nowens,

You're from a visa waiver country, yet you were in the USA on a visa?

On what basis will you be asking to enter the USA on this next trip, what are your plans for the trip, and is the basis for your request to enter consistent with your plans?

Has your wife filed an immigrant visa petition for you yet? If not, when does she plan to?

As to your question - the CBP officer you speak with at Shannon can give you a pretty good answer.

Since you are already married, you may have to use the K-3 visa process

i appreciate the advice, but can anyone tell me if i have any chance of being let through. My wife rang USCIS and they said if i can get back in i can file and it is up to the broader patrol officer as to whether or not i get in. can anyone tell me what my chances might be?

You're asking us to predict what a CBP officer in Shannon will do when you cross his/her path? How could we possibly know what might happen?

If you must visit the US (if for some reason your wife can't visit you), then I'm sorry, but this is a risk you have to take.
