amnesty to k-1 holders who became illegal

[jackcourtney 4]

Does Obama's amnesty apply to those who came on K-1 visas, got married but failed to adjust their status and then divorced and ended up illegal?

Please have respect, no judgment and assumptions and reply only if you have information

thank you

Someone will correct me if I am wrong but my interpretation of the new defered action is that it is for people who were brought here as children illegally. It is not amnesty, it is deferred action.

Good luck

No, it does not apply to K-1 visa holders because children cannot get K-1 visas.

This ^^^

If the above does not apply to you I would be looking at another way to legalize your status or to leave so as not to risk deportation.

Goodluck

No. You couldn't have entered the US being legally free to marry and being under the age of 16 at the same time(unless with consent from legal guardians). Odds are you entered AFTER you turned 18 when arriving on a K1 visa. VAWA and being a widow are the only exceptions when the original petitioner isn't involved in the AOS.

If you came on a K1 there is and didn't adjust prior to divorce there is little chance of adjusting in the US. Claiming abuse long after a divorce is unlikely to work unless there is documentation of it during the marrage. False claim of abuse is fraud and will lead to a ban. How long did your marriage last ? If your ex withheld filing to control you , there are cases where the fact you met the requirements of the K1 ( arrived and married in 90 days) open a window for adjustment if you have proof of good faith.

Thank you..... OP asked and researching ways that cannot be condoned I think marriage was a very short time as stated in previous post.
