Visa Question Best Posts in Thread: Overstay 12 months

I'm not sure this is the wisest thing to put in to writing online. Immigration officers hold an insane amount of power over foreigners and basically insulting/defaming them online opens yourself not only to criminal defamation charges but deportation and blacklisting. Not only are you insulting the man (and his wife) but you are admitting to lying to an immigration officer about the reason for your overstay. I'm sure you attorney would have strongly advised you not to admit such things publicly.

I hope, for your sake, that he does not read this and that you are already out of country. It does not matter if he takes delight in holding illegal aliens responsible for their decision to overstay since it is his job and he has taken an oath to do so. You are the one out of line and breaking the law, not him. He is just doing his job, even if it is with a lot of enthusiasm.
