I am just wondering i came to america as an f1 student and my i-94 expired well it is not clear but seems to say D.S.

however my visa expired on mar 27 04 and i was married on dec 10 04.

I just wanted to know would i be denied? or would i be able to squeak on by. I talked to a immigration lawyer and i filed what they told 130,485,765 but i am kinda worried. can someone let me know. By the way i am a may filer i also received a RFE for tax info i sent it in are they suppose to send me a notice saying they received it online or by mail.

If you are married to a US Citizen, USCIS cannot deny your Green Card because of an overstay. Doesn't matter if the visa overstay is 1 day or 10 years, you will be "forgiven". Don't worry about it!

Didn't your DSO talk to you about how F-1 visa works?

It doesn't matter if your visa expired. You don't need to have a valid visa when you're in the U.S. Your I-94 can't expire, because you were admitted for the duration of stay - that's what D/S stands for. What matters is when you stopped going to school full time or when you were done with your OPT. You fall out of status if you don't enroll in 12 (9 graduate) units per quarter/semester, or when you are done with OPT and don't leave the country.

rahtryinhard,

Hard to say if you might be denied - you don't provide any relevant information. When the visa expired in particular is of no relevance.
