Q: I can the the USA on a VWP I overstayed by about a month now. What are my chances I have a final deportation order ?
I came to the us in March on a VWP and my 90 days ended in June. My US citizen husband and I got married in May , we originally planned on AOS but some private issues made it so that we weren't able to file yet, we are considering moving to My home country ( Germany) but haven't found a clear solution yet, it will depend on the next few weeks what decision we make, my husband has mental health issues , and I'm his only trusted family. My worries atm is with all the big guys gearing up for raids , How possible is it that there is a final deportation order out against me after I so far only overstayed by one month. We have a joint bank account so my data is somehow in the system. As I said our final decision will be made in the next weeks as if we leave or not.
A:
Those who are put in immigration court are usually arrested, or notified after they file an application and the application is denied. A person must be issued a written notice to appear before the immigration court. Usually, there must be proof of service, but a person who is documented should update their address in the system.
A person who is on the VWP is not entitled to a hearing before an immigration court, so that is how you should know. A person who enters with a visa waiver admission waives the right to a hearing before the immigration court. That is, they usually don't have a removal order.
You have a situation that requires prompt attention. I strongly recommend that you seek an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before you take any further action including departing the United States. Good luck.
