you should have reserached what would happen BEFORE you left.. u could have gotten married, and applied for AOS and u would have been in a good situation.

 

once you left american soil, you then triggered the overstay bar which is 10 years! if you would ahve stayed and AOS ur overstay would have been forgiven.  

 

now you have to get married, file cr1 and apply for a waiver! like hosier said, its going to take 2 years minimum and attourney fees.. best start it now.. have her come and get married and all u can do is move forward from this point and not worry about the past. after ur interview when u get denied u will file a hardship waiver.

Against my better judgement I am going to respond again.

 

I appreciate what Caliliving is saying but I strangely find it important enough to note - you did not research what could happen and then plan to marrying someone to stay.  Love is grand and is  a wonderful thing but obviously if you wanted to get married you would have but even having done so would not have been a guarantee that you would have gotten to stay. So would have, should have, could have are of no use to you now.  Thinking this way will cause you to act on impulse and feel sorry for yourself - don't.

 

Look towards what you can do, together.

 

You are going through this but for the US Government, it is not an emotional process, the facts here matter. So try to separate the two as best you can when planning to move forward. Get married or don't the reality is you did something wrong, just as I did, and we must abide the consequences of the rules we broke. Your partner will either understand, work with you through this, or not.

 

I would start to write out your facts someplace, a book, not on here.

Entry dates, travel to the US, when your visa was up, work and when you left.

These will be important to tell to a lawyer and an officer and for your applications.

The dates cannot be vague, cannot change and must be truthful.

 

If you choose to lie or misrepresent anything on official documents it will only make things worse.

Right now you might be emotionally hurting, but if you two truly love each other, do this right so you can do the whole happy ever thing.....

 

Oh and by the by, the tone of some message here that were removed, expect those from anyone you tell your story too, including US officers, because no matter how much you fell in love with a City or  person, the law abiding citizens of the world had to follow the rules and wait .... do not ever expect sympathy or feel you have any rights to claim injustice.

 

There is a lot of sadness out there in the world and come waiver time you are going to come to realize that 'being apart' from the one you love is a rain drop in the sea of misery.

 

This will not be easy but it can be done.

As a canadian u probabaly werenr goven a written date to leave. He waa given an i94 and a date to leave by so he was dating this girl and shoild have reaearched consequenses on what to happen before he left 

 

The us gov only cares abous his last i94, everytbing before that is irrelevant...he has a leave by date and he didnt, so upon leaving the usa he triggered the 10yr ban.

 

Overstay is forgivne when married a usc but not a ban. 

Unauthoriazed work is forgiven as well (as long as u never claimef to he a usc) that is the least of his problem.

 

U can do the first part urself if u decide to get married on the cr1 let ur fiance know u will need to get married on a different soil...it can be ireland or anywhere u can go thrn file paperwork..that takes a 9months to a year THEN u will have a form for a waiver and u need a solid waiver lawyee for that..thats another year so your looking at 2-3years.
