Canadians can appeal, also. blush.gif Only those on the VWP can't appeal.

Whole sentence...like Canadians who don't enter on VWP that still have no visa. ; :rofl:

I agree on the material misrepresentation possibility. Is it a huge risk? Maybe not. But it may also be on record that you said you wouldn't adjust and knew you were not supposed to, and since you ent

He was asked about his intent. he specifically said he intended to leave and they've noted that on his file. He noted his knowledge of the K1 process. I'm sorry but you don't KNOW he'll be okay and

I don't think people here are trying to derail the OP because of "envy" - not on the AOS from tourist, work and student visa forum at least. Most people just believe that before making big decisions l

Sorry, I am tired and obviously confused - I am just trying to make sure that everyone understands that Canadians, even those that crossed the border without applying for a visa beforehand (which is most of the cases) do have the chance to appeal.

Really? Well I'll be tied upside down from a rubber tree and beat with a pickle! I was definitely under the distinct impression from here that Canadians with no visa were treated like those on the VWP ie no appeal. Something I never looked up and just assumed to be true.

Good to know.

Big difference, for sure.

He is absolutely within his rights to do so. Many of us on this forum are doing this process, have done this process and will continue to do this process with no issues.

The spouse of a US citizen is allowed to adjust fom a visa waiver program/visitor status.

Overstay is overlooked for the spouse of a US citizen.

Intent is overlooked for the spouse of a US citizen.

These directives are all a part of the adjucators field guide. :bonk:

If you don't know, its probably best not to add to the confusion.

If you know and choose to argue it out of some sort of envy or distaste that others choose a different rout - well, that's just not nice. ;)

This this is so confusing while reading all of the replies of this topic. I’m going thru this aos from vwp at the moment. Wish I could find the 100% answer not just arguements. I’m a usc. I married a vwp ( over stayed). We are married and together we have a 3 months old child.

I’m just here to seek help.
