Needing some help.assistance on how to fill I-485 Part 8

[NEEDING ADVICE]

I have filled majority of the questions; however, I am stuck on a few and unsure how to answer them. I hope I may get some help on them.

*Brief information: Never arrested, never committed any heinous crimes.


My current status is overstay. (with ESTA which is expired already. )

17. Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of you nonimmigrant status?
18. Are you presently or have you EVER been in removal, exclusion, rescission, or deportation proceedings?
19. Have you EVER been issued a final order of exclusion, deportation, or removal?
20. Have you EVER had a prior final order of exclusion deportation, or removal reinstated?
21. Have you EVER held lawful permanent resident status which was later rescinded?

46.e. Engage in any other unlawful activity?
(Does continuing overstaying consider a yes?)

Since April 1, 1997, have you been unlawfully present in the United States:
72.a. For more than 180 days but less than a year, and then departed the United States?
72.b. For one year or more and then departed the United States?
(I am staying here more than a year but haven’t departed United States after overstaying.)

Since April 1, 1997, have you EVER reentered or attempted to reenter the United States without being inspected and admitted or paroled after:
73.a. . Having been unlawfully present in the United States for more than one year in the aggregate?
(Like I said, I was overstaying more than one year. But I haven’t departed the United States.)

I haven’t done any crimes, just overstayed. That’s it. Do I still need to say yes to those questions?
And is there any other question that I need to say yes for overstaying?

Hi,
I have applied for the same. And all answer I filled as NO. I was also only overstayed and didn't involve with anything mentioned below.

I had my interview done however, didn't get decision yet.

THanks. It may help you.

Good luck!

I had same situation

I was in the same situation as you. I overstayed.
I believe that you are filling up the new forms, because of that question I hurried filled and sent an old form that I had saved on my computer.
Since they were accepting old forms until August 30th I think.
Because the new forms have the Biographic information included they are longer and have more questions than the old forms
I sent my I-485, I-765 and Affidavit of support on July 5th ( Already had an approved I-130 that I had sent on November last year.) and already got my finger print appointment for August 3th



I wish you good luck.
