HEy Sivaa.....
I was supposed to be deported because I overstayed on my visa and the on the INS found me was because I was on Probation for petty Larceny.When I first went to the Probation Officer she gave me forms to fill out ( like a registration form ) and the question where they ask :
ARE YOU A CITIZEN : i told the truth which was NO and I they asked for my passport and Birth Cert.
But after like 8months on probation I had my weekly visit and SITTING in the room was an INS OFFICER who then told me that I was illegal and had to appear before a Judge.
I came to the US when I was a little girl and my dad's company was his sponsor, and my dad was his family sponsor. But I turned 21 and nobody notified me that I was suppose to file for MYSELF so I was living illegal for 2 years ( NOT KNOWINGLY cause I didn't know or handle any of the immigration stuff in our Family).
When i went to court in Buffalo, they told me that I couldn't get voluntary departure so I was ordered removed from the US one month later. I went back to my house in ROCHESTER,NY and decided that I am NOT gong to let THE US Government Pay for anything so I hopped on a plane ( at my own expense) back to TRINIDAD and now my husband is filing for me to return to the US.
( oh....The judge didn't care that I was married...maybe because we've been married for only months before my hearing. )
I went thru HELL without my Husband and my family but God is going to Bless me cause I have learned from my mistakes and besides I have always considered myself an AMERICAN since I was practically brought up in the US...
