It depends on what student visa you are on. The visa on your passport should be able to tell you if you are able to work and also the limitation. \n\nIf your student visa is less than 6 months, your visa should have "No work or recourse to public funds". You are not able to work at all during your stay. If your student visa is for more than 6 months, then you are allowed to work 20 hours a week during term time and work as a full time during school holidays.

Legally, if you let your visa expire, you broke the law. But then, you did come in legally (documented) so wait until the new immigration law passes to see what kind of deal you will be able to get. Since it look likes illegals (undocumented) will be able to remain and get legal status, it is very likely you will too.

Apply for a tourist visa. That is the best way to get there temporarily. This is usually good for 6 months. Be good and be out on time...

If your visa expires soon, you can get an extension if you get a job.

If you entered on a 90 day visitor visa, you are not allowed to work or entitled to a SSN.  A visitor visa is a temporary visa for visiting the US only.  \n\nWorking in the US without proper USCIS approval is beaking US immigration laws and makes you subject to deportation if found out.\n\nIf you want to remain in the US to work, you need to apply for the proper visa, but since your visa status has already expired you would have to prove the following:\n\n- The delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control; \n- The length of the delay was reasonable; \n- You have not done anything else to violate your nonimmigrant status (such as work without USCIS approval); \n- You are still a nonimmigrant (This means that you are not trying to become a permanent resident of the United States. There are some exceptions.); and \n- You are not in formal proceedings to remove (deport) you from the country. \n\nAt this point, you ARE illegal, since you failed to leave the US at the end of the 90 time frame allowed to you and failed to file for an extension or filed for change of status from nonimmigrant visa .  The longer you remain in the US after the expiry of your I-94 could subject you to a 3-10 year ban from ever entering the US again.

why don't you apply for a visitors visa for 3 months with work permission and then whilst you are here look for an accounting job and should the 3 months VISA expire apply for extension or a skilled labour VISA

Its better to consult US visa issuing authority on the  subject. But apparently it seems that both visas cant be there same time.\n As in VISIT application form there is a check-box asking 'wud you work over there'.\nHow that question be replied in 'NO', where there is H1 on the passport.\nAnd how that can be 'Yes', when you are applying for VISIT Visa.

Do NOT leave the U.S. for more than a year or you will be deemed as abandoning your residency. If you must go, you need to apply for a re-entry permit from USCIS.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can.  Whether you can get HSMP visa depends on your qualification, past earning, your achievement in the chosen area, and your spouse/partner's qualification and earning.  It means for you to qualify you have to have been working for the last 12 months legally and your income is more than 26K (if you have been in UK), and your partner has about the same salary, and you have achieved a senior position in the company.  And normally, then minimum qualification you need for HSMP is a university degree.  So I am sorry, but I don't think you qualify.  Also the fact that you have been a overstayer for 9 years will be an issue here.  For more details, check Home Office's website. \nI am not too sure about your situation, but I advise you to contact IAS (Immigration Advisory Service)  and some law firms.  They might be helpful to you to sort out your visa.  Good luck.

Are you just a visitor, or are you meeting a potential fiance'...it all depends, honestly. \n\nAs just a visitor, I found that a visitor can stay as long as six months without a work visa, so long as they meet the following requirements:\n\n"41. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor are that he: \n\n(i) is genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a limited period as stated by him, not exceeding 6 months; and \n \n\n(ii) intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of the period of the visit as stated by him; and \n\n\n(iii) does not intend to take employment in the United Kingdom; and \n\n\n(iv) does not intend to produce goods or provide services within the United Kingdom, including the selling of goods or services direct to members of the public; and \n\n\n(v) does not intend to study at a maintained school; and \n\n\n(vi) will maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately out of resources available to him without recourse to public funds or taking employment; or will, with any dependants, be maintained and accommodated adequately by relatives or friends; and \n\n\n(vii) can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.; and\n\n(viii) is not a child under the age of 18.\n\n\nHope this helps!\nCheck the link if you need more info...\n \n\n42. A person seeking leave to enter to the United Kingdom as a visitor may be admitted for a period not exceeding 6 months, subject to a condition prohibiting employment, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 41 is met.

No as long as you pay your fines... you are fine... that has nothing to do with Immigration department... the only worry about serious offences like murder or threats to security...

I don't remember how long it takes, but you will not get your residency at the time of the interview.  IIRC, it takes about one or two months after the interview for your residency permit to be processed.  You'll be fine.

No, now when you arrive to your destiny by plane, your passport will be stamped with date of entry and they will ask you how long u wish to stay, the maximum stay is for 3 months. If for a reason you need to extend your stay, it is possible by going to Relaciones Exteriores to apply for an extended tourist stay.

Your approved stay in the U.S. does NOT depend on when your visa expires --- it depends on the date on your I-94,  Arrival Departure Record expires.  You received this when you went through Immigration at the airport or land port-of-entry.\n\nThe I-94 is a little white card that will has your name and stamped or written on it, will have your entry date and the date by which you MUST leave the U.S.\n\n Unless you file a form requesting an extension of your approved stay, you will become illegal the day after the I-94 expires. Just because your visa expires April 2007 DOES NOT mean you can stay in the U.S. until April of 2007.  In fact, it DOES NOT mean that at all.   If you stay in the U.S. after the date of that your I-94 expires, you will be illegally in the U.S.  This will also have the effect of automatically canceling your visa, and will most likely prevent you from getting a new visa in the future.  \n\nNOTE:  If you need to extend your stay in the U.S., you must file the form below with the Service Center in your region and the office MUST receive it before the date your I-94 expires.  \n\nAlso,  to get the extension you will have to show you have a valid passport.  So do that quickly!\n\nGood luck!
