I entered USA in 2000 on a student (F1) visa. The I-94 on my passport says F1 D/S. I stayed in school till 2002 after which i dropped out of school. No one from school or any immigration representatives from US contacted me. I was never caught or have any criminal or any other kind of offense. I stayed in the US till 2008. My student visa was approved from Aug 2000 to Aug 2005. I had paid taxes while I was in school till 2002 but after that since I did not go to school I did not file any taxes.

After that I married my wife ( who was on green card since 2005) in 2007. She has an excellent career (nurse) and a great job in US. Meanwhile I moved (left voluntarily) to Canada and became a permanent resident here in Canada since 2008. My wife is eligible to become a USC next month. It has been really hard for us to stay apart. She has been staying in US while I have been in Canada. I am about to complete my MBA here in Canada in few months. I want to go back to US and live with my wife there. She has traveled to Canada to visit me only thrice since we started living apart.

My question is that I learnt from here and other websites that if an Immigration Judge or any other US govt officials never contacted me or was ordered removal from the country. Am I still subjected to 10 yr ban. Is there a chance that I will be waived I 601 (hardship for USC). What are my chances for approval?

Please guide..........and help

Thank you

You will need a waiver for your illegal presence in the US. Wait till your wife becomes a US citizen, than I suggest an attorney. What state does your wife and you intent to live in??
