Overstay and Background check fingerprinting

Post new topic

Billmond131

Hi Everyone,
I have overstayed and my partner and I want to get married. I need to get the fingerprinting done so I can send to the FBI Company to complete. Will I have a problem going into the Police Federal to request it since I have overstayed? Should I do the marriage process first?

Thanks,

As soon as federal police see that you are overstayed you will given a couple days to leave. have you looked to see the documents you will need to get married and then permanency? If you have what you need to get married I'd do that first. Overstaying always makes things more difficult.

Brazil. I was not asked for a FBI Background check at anytime, yet I did have one available and guess what I've never looked at the "Report

There are a couple of issues wrapped up in your question.   The most important one is, have you overstayed your initial 90 days,  or the whole 180?  If the first, you can go to the Federal Police and extend, either paying the fine or shortening your extension by the days of the overstay.  Then do the marriage, get fingerprinted, and get your permanency application in ASAP.
If the second, you'll probably have to leave the country until your counter rolls over again.  Going to the Federal Police for anything else in that case will likely just get you an order to leave, and the fine.
