Hello.
How are you guys?
I went to USA for 2 times on F1 visa.
On my first visit I stayed around 10 months and returned back to my country of origin.
On my second visit I stayed 2 years and 3 months and returned back to my country of origin.
On my second visit my school terminated me on September 2015 and I left the country on August 2016. (I believe that makes me out of status for 11 months)
I talked to an immigration lawyer and she told me since I was on student visa there is no unlawful presence if a judge did not find me out of status therefore there is no timebar.
I did not appear on court and no judge found me out of status but my situation is I changed many cities and states after my termination by the school on September 2015, so if I received any kind of court order related to my status in my mailbox of any address I have shown(driver's license or school database) I did not have the chance to get any mail and never appeared on court.
My question is if a court sent me a date for my out of status case and since I did not appear on court if it happened, is it still possible to be found unlawful presence or out of status without appearing on court without seeing an immigration judge?
I left the country by myself without any immigration officer, nobody told me anything or did any operation when I jumped into plane while leaving.
This is important because this time I will apply to tourist visa and marry my US Citizen fiancee there or she might come here and marry me.
Thank You.
