I have a friend who met a girl from Indonesia, who had overstay her visa in Taiwan, by 5 years or so. Turned herself in and returned to Indonesia. When they apply (soon) for a K1 visa,one of the documents ask for is countries visited in last 5 years, and she will note it Taiwan. I will guess they will then require a Police background check from Taiwan, where they will I am sure note her overstay. My question is has anyone on the board been through this (other country visa overstay), and was it a problem during the K1 interview process?

Thanks

They may not issue a police check if she didn't have legal status in Taiwan. I don't think it's a case of the embassy caring, more they want to know if she got into any trouble when she was there.

Yeah, they probably won't care because with the K1 visa, she will be coming explicitly to marry and live. They might ask her about it; in which case she should be honest and answer their questions.... but it shouldn't really be a problem for the K1.
