About to file papers to stay in US, couple questions

[athena_ny 1]

You've spent more than 6 months here this year, and I remember reading Canadians can legally spend up to 6 months of a year in the US (I think this is true for any country - can't spent more time in the US than your own country without being an LPR), so your status has probably expired. I wouldn't worry about filing to get it extended, overstay is forgiven through marriage to a USC anyway. My husband had a 4.5 year overstay and it wasn't an issue.

so, say there is a date in the stamp when the person has to leave by and an I-94 issued - would an overstay of that date be forgiven if the person were to get married while in the country and then file for AOS?

Yes. Plenty of stories on overstays here - just search overstay and you'll find plenty. I haven't seen anyone get denied for that reason, or heard of it either.

It would only be a B2 if you had applied for the visa, and then you would have the visa printed in your passeport. This is just a signature.

You got married and you are about to fill papers for the AOS, you didn't know you would get married when you came in so that's a plus.

You should be fine.
