Hi, my husband overstayed in the US. He arrived in 2016 and just left this past January 2020. We got married in the US in August 2018. We submitted his application while he was still in the US. He did his medical and Biometrics while he was still in the US. He submitted his criminal record from the US, as well as from his home country. Some things were a bit more difficult to obtain, but we got it done.
Our application was submitted in January 2019, and he left the US in January 2020 to go back home for his interview. Our application process took the standard 1 year. Please note, during the interview they focused on the fact that he overstayed. However, we were able to convince the immigration officer of the genuineness of our relationship. My husband is now here with me in Canada.
All the best!
