Hello everyone. Here is the problem I am facing. I will try to make my story as short as possible. My wife traveled with her parents from Poland to USA on her tourist visa in 2003. They have been granted I94 document for 6 months. They ended up overstaying their visa and leaving USA to Canada using skilled trades program in late 2011. While leaving to Canada their visa was was still valid but the I94 was expired. My wife was 20 years old when she migrated to Canada. As of last week she became Canadian citizen and she already got her Canadian passport. It's also worth mentioning that she switched her last name as well. She has been living here for 5 years since they left US and now she is canadian citizen with different last name. She also has valid Polish passport with expired tourist visa to the US.
Question time:
Would it be a good idea to cross the border since she is canadian now with a different last name?
What could be our consequences if things would go bad on the border?
If I forgot to mention any crucial information please ask so I can add whatever needs to be added.
We spoke to lawyer added he told us to try crossing and if the things get bad or we will turn around then we will have to apply for some kind of waiver.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading!
