Is being in the U.S as a visitor without a visitor visa considered being "unlawfully present"??? I am from Canada...

Please answer as I might need to make flight changes pretty quick, like in the next 24 hours....

Thank you again!!!!

canadians need no visitor visa or anything, just a passport

Canadian's don't need visas to visit the US. As long as you passed through an inspection point (land or air) you're fine

Good luck.

Not if you are from Canada. Canadians do not need visas to visit. As long as you entered legally through customs, you are fine

Ok, because I am leaving on the 22, which will have been 183 days, but I drove through the border and all was fine... I won't be denied on that bases then?

God, you guys are amazing for answering so fast, I don't know what I would do if this site did not exit!

Bless you all!

Should I still try to leave on the 20? It would be 181 days then...

You will have been in the US for 183 days by the time you leave on the 22nd?

NO real difference between 183 days or 181 days, but I wouldn't count on another trip to the US anytime soon

Good luck.

Yeah, and since (from your empty timeline) you haven't filed yet, being able to come and visit again may be just what your sanity needs in a few months down the road. Don't jeopardize that!
