[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole overstaying the visa argument is flawed. Yes he did, but that was in the last. It's like prosecuting someone for speeding 15 years ago.

His current situation:
Culleton entered the US in 2009 on a visa waiver programme and overstayed the 90-day limit but after marrying a US citizen, Tiffany Smyth, and applying for lawful permanent residence, he obtained a statutory exemption that allowed him to work, according to his lawyer, Ogor Winnie Okoye.

The detention prevented him from attending the final interview in October for his green card that would have confirmed his legal status, said Okoye. “It’s inexplicable that this man has been in detention.”[/quote]

That’s ridiculous. More like he was speeding 15 years ago, and KEPT ON SPEEDING even though he knew the rules. The thing that changes is that enforcement has been increased. [/quote]

So the fact that he applied for a permit to rectify his visa issue and is married to a citizen should mean nothing just because he had previously overstayed?

The crime of not getting it right initially, but trying to fix it, means instant deportation or imprisonment? GTFO.

He was in the process of trying to get his green card

The court could decide if he was eligible or not. Not some goon doing arbitrary sweeps. [/quote]
