My partner overstayed his visa by more than 28 days, who do we appeal to ?

Question

My partner is a paraplegic, he contracted a urinary tract infection which is common in paraplegics when he was suppose to leave the country. His doctor put him on antibiotics which gave him diarrhea, he then had to be put on a different antibiotic, eventually clearing it up. He overstayed his visa by about 3 months in all. When he eventually bought another ticket and I took him to the airport immigration pulled him up on this, we did not know we were suppose to apply for a bridging visa, they gave us 1 and he had to be out of the country within the month. He is now back in the USA, can we appeal this and will he be out for 3 years or does that depend on something? We do have a Doctors letter stating why he was unable to leave the country at that time, also my partner bought a ticket to leave the country when he was suppose to but we had to cancel as too unwell to travel. We have been together for 4 years, both of us going to each others country. Thanks for any advice

Answer 1

The trip home by plane with anti-biotics in hand would not have impacted his care. You do not have a case for over-staying his visa.

Answer 2

well i can help out if yall get married in the us or if yall are already married in the usa  then he can apply for 2 kinda visa which are family visa and a immigrant visa

family visa~~~~Visa in this category are usually aimed at uniting partners, partners to be or familymembers in the first degree such as parents, children and brothers and sisters. One party should already have citizenship or permanent residency so they can sponsor the other party.

This so called "fiancee visa" is commonly used to have a husband or wife come over from abroad. There usually must be a marriage before the visa is given. In the USA this type of visa are called fiancee visa and it is valid between the time you enter the USA and the time that you are issued you green card.

or an immigrant visa~~~~An immigrant visa is required for anyone who wishes to enter the United States to reside there permanently, whether or not that person plans to seek employment in the United States. An immigrant visa is a document issued by a U.S. consular officer abroad that allows you to travel to the United States and apply for admission as a legal permanent resident
