Hi guys,
looking for some opinions here.
My husband overstayed US visitor visa - twice - but under one visitor visa only (granted for 10 years 1999-2009) entered in 1999 and then 2002, left for good in 2008.
- never got caught, charged, deported
- claimed work experience from US in PR application, obtained required FBI clearance with no problem
now we're applying for citizenship and we want to be honest BUT, how the hell do I fill Q13 regarding immigration status?
Because CIC does have his US work experience and address record, so I think we should state it - but he has only visitor status and then he was with no status at all there.
My idea is to state in Q13 visitor visa 1999-2009 (so it matches PR application) - so we don't misinterpret anything.
I've read in many forums here that overstaying your visa in another country should have no negative impact on citizenship application, is that correct?
Any opinions will be much appreciated.
