I am a US citizen. My Lithuanian girlfriend and I have a four month old child in Lithuania. I flew from Ireland some six months ago when I discovered she was having complications. Lithuanian immigration has not been sympathetic to our situation and did not allow me an extension to my three month tourist visa. Hence I have been illegal in Lithuania for over three months and as such I believe I am unable to legitimately apply for residency permits in Lithuania for any reason.
Am I also illegal in the eyes of the Schengen community? Since Lithuania joined late last march. May I exit the EU through a Shengen country other than Lithuania with a clean passport and perhaps apply for a residency permit from the outside? Say Croatia.
We do not want to separate and a marriage visa to the US could take up to eight months. May I appeal to the EU for any kind of extension or permit? Probably not. Then what am I up against if leave the EU for the US eight months from now?
Thank you very much for any information or leads to arbitration.
