I'm interested in applying for a fiance visa (I-129F) for a foreign exchange student here in the US on a work visa. Her work visa expires soon and she's scheduled to fly back to Poland on 9/29/05. I understand that a fiance visa takes about six weeks for processing. If she is here past 9/29, would she be considered illegal or defected? Is there any way that she can stay in the US legally while we apply and wait for processing of :? all kinds of immigration and visa forms? She has a job and can have it permanently if she can stay here.
