Hello Melissa Cully,


For how long has he exceeded his stay in the country?


Overstaying may entail more complications than anticipated.


I recommend reaching out directly to the immigration office to obtain accurate information on what can be done in such a situation.


You can give them a call, they are typically very responsive over the phone.


I wish you all the best,

@Cheryl he is overstay like 2 years and a half..

Do you think he can stay here for like 5 years without travelling and working investing like us to ask for a citizenship later???
