    Default Working Without a Permit - Voluntary Departure

    I received voluntary departure due to not attending school for a semester and having worked off-campus without a permit. I left the USA, late 2005 and now am looking to return with my wife who is going to be a naturalized citizen.

    Can anyone advise if there are any hurdles that I should be looking forward to through the immigration process? The judge granted me a 120-day period and was told I should not have any issues returning at any time.

    Thanks!

    You were out of status for how long?

    You're planning on returning before or after your spouse naturalizes? On what type of visa?

    Default Re: Working Without a Permit - Voluntary Departure

    I went out of status during fall of 2003 (probably around October). The immigration showed up at my door almost a year later. I was released on bail and by the time all the proceedings came to an end I didn't end up leaving the US till Sept 2005. I was back in University during this time finishing up my degree. I was clearly told by the judge that I did not have any ban and would be allowed to come back to the US at any-time as long as I got a visa. I have been rejected a visit/tourist visa twice since in my country of origin. However, i have not been informed of any ban by the concerned consulate staff.

    At this point in time -
    1. I intend to visit only, my wife in the US who is currently a resident there and waiting to be naturalized.
    2. Eventually, plan to return once she is naturalized and my paperwork changes queues. Currently, I have been filed as a spouse of a green card holder, which will obviously change.
