tourist visa relatives overstaying...help

[whitel 0]

hi everyone,

if anyone has any idea about this topic,then please comment.

I entered U.S. in a K1 visa dn then got married to my American hubby.During that time i send my wedding invitation cards to my aunts.They went for the visa interview and got tourist visa for three months.However they never came for my wedding.I live in california.They went to visit theirs cousins in newyork.wehen the time came for leaving one left but the other stayed back and extended her visa through her cousins and started living with them.Her extended visa expires on february.She does not keep in touch with me anymore.the reason being that i told her to leave before her visa expires but she s been telling my other cousins that she wants to overstay(illegally).I want nothing to do with her now.i cant get hold of her.my question is am i still responsible for her or not.in future if i want to invite any of my family here will there be any problems.

When she came to america the embassy which issued her the visa was more concerned if she had enough property and if she s financially sound or not they didnt ask her anything about me. and they didnt even have to show my wedding invitation during the visa interview. so am i still responsible for her.

thanks.

Did you I-134 her?

BTW it must be an Indian thing, we have a similar case with some of my wifes relatives who got the tourist visa through an invitation letter I wrote them but then never bothered coming to visit us. They're overstaying as well.

You were never responsible for them "per say." What your family does with the visitor's visa, has no bearing on your immigrant visa process. If the relative was given an extention, then it is ok providing that she leaves before the last date. If the relative fall in love however, with a USC, then the relative can get married and file for Adjustment of Status.

Not even if she supplied a signed I-134 which her aunt used as part of the visitor visa application process? Note that many consulates will accept such a document as part of the total evidence supplied by the applicant.

no i did not fill the I134.i dont even work.all i did was send an invitation card. i am so ashamed of what she is doing to me.my husband now thinks that all my relatives are the same because of what she did.i can never ask him to sponser my family anymore after all this...no trust.

i never send them the affidavit of support..infact they had to show they were financially sound by showing the property documents and bank statements.

my aunt is staying here for the sole purpose of working illegally.i dont have her phone no.or her address.she just stopped keeping in touch because am asking her to leave before her visa expires.

I'd simply wash my hands of the situation...

You're ok.

And your husbands an idiot if he thinks one aunt is reflective of your whole family. Or, more likely, he's looking for an excuse to not sponsor anyone else

Call ICE and have them deported.

Uncalled for. Reported.

Yes, anomalies or patterns can exist, but no objective or verifiable conclusion can be drawn from TWO data points. Therefore, the comment in boldface above is purely opinion and likely could have been worded better, at minimum.

That's exactly right. +1

Dawg . . . if we want to complain about posts that could have been "worded better" as you put it, it's time to shut down this site as there are many immigrants still working on their English skills.

Maybe I could have this worded better? Maybe I could have worded this better?
