Possible Overstay?

[George_Fernand]

Hi All,

I came to the US on a B2 visa to meet my girlfriend, applied for an
extension after about 5 months, got enrolled in a school for post
graduate research and applied for a change of status from B2 to F1.
INS denied both my extension application and change of status
application.

My girlfriend and I got married here and our lawyer suggested that my
name be included in her work based green card application. We did that
and both of us got the EAD and Advance Parole.

We want to visit our home country for a few days. The thing is:
my I-94 expired in April 2002, we got the denial notices for the above
visas in November 2002, I was never issued a new I-94 by the INS, our
lawyer applied for our joint green card application in December 2002
based on which we got our EAD and AP.

Considering the above information,

1. Have I overstayed in the United States even though my change of
status application was in process?
2. Will there be any problem when we enter the United States on
Advance Parole?
3. Is there any chance that my entry will be denied?
4. What kind of questions can we expect at the port of entry?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

- George

you have possibly incurred some overstay in the United States and it's strongly advised that inspite of your AP you should not leave the US as you may be denied entry.
