    Talking J-1 Visa Already Expired

    Hi, Im a j1 visa holder who is already overstaying here in the U.S. I entered here in march and work for 3 1/2 months. I would like to know if I go back to my country will they arrest me if I voluntarily exit?Can I still go back in the U.S. I'm really confused cause maybe if I go to an airport they will arrest me in put me in jail.Another thing is, can a J1 holder go to another country even though she already had a petition in USCIS for her change of visa to F1? Cause I met her here in the U.S. but she is a J1 visa holder too.She would like to go with me in my country and get married.Can she go there? I've heared a foreigner can enter my country not longer than 21 days and should have a valid ticket going back or going to another port of entry. She is a ukrainian so, basically she is a European.Can she enter my country even if she only have one way ticket going their?Should she ask my country's embassy or can she just go there? I heard they will just automatically give her when she arrive in the airport by the immigration?
    I really appriciate if someone can help me about this matter.

    I'm assuming you're not wanted for a crime - your only concern is your overstay. Nobody is going to stop you from leaving. If you haven't yet overstayed by 90 or more days, you aren't facing a period of ineligibility to reenter if you depart before you hit that mark, but you should expect that you have disqualified yourself from future reentry under the visa waiver program (if your nation of origin participates).

    Your friend would have to enter your nation of origin consistent with the immigration laws of your nation of origin, whatever that happens to be.
