The whole reason I was going to leave was because I wanted to avoid the ban. But what's the point of coming back legally in a few years or so when everything you knew will have changed? Your friends will have made a life for themselves, your family won't be different, but if you have younger brothers or sisters, they'll be older and you will have missed out one of the biggest portions of their life, their teenage years.

I know things won't be easy here, and they won't, but the advantage is that I have been living like this for a long time so I know what to expect.

I will stay here and fight for our dream. If nothing happens, they at least I will have my education to take back home and it will definately be put to good use.

Best of luck to us all and I know many of you won't care about my decision, but it's a big decision for me so yeah lol
Well good luck, I hope the best for you even though I disagree with your decision. Yeah you might miss a few years, but you risk screwing your life for an eternity and its a decision you can never take back. Its a gamble but I hope it works out and you guys all get legalized somehow. You life is officially in the hands of the United States Congress.

2) If you want them to know you left: If you entered on a tourist visa, you should have the i-94 and your original visa. Simply show it to CPB when you leave, and they will tell you what to do with it.

If you are EWI: well then no one will know what day you left, except you can prove it with a bus ticket or plane ticket out of the country. You can copy it and send it to them. But I have heard of people who were EWI paying off a school to make up transcripts for them, so they could say they were never in the US (they have no access to your school records in the US by law)

I hope you aren't EWI and you are an overstay if you are staying, it gives you more options. If you are just an overstay, you can still marry and adjust status one day. If you are EWI you can't and I think that makes it a worse decision.
