I cannot believe I did this. I thought my visa was expiring end of this year and ai found out it wss late September.
My spoyse has been working here for 3 years and he was born and raised in HK. He also has a US Passport and worked in the US for over 20 years before coming back to HK. I am a US citizen and so is my 7 year old son. We have been living in Texas and shuttling to HK to visit my spouse/his dad for the past 3 years.
OK! so Covid happened and we couldnt come to HK until late June after his school year finished. Now we have started the new school year virtually and decided to do school while in HK so we can all soend time together. I’ve been meaning to apply for a dependent visa and didn’t get a chance to do it and then realized that holy crap we sre overstaying our visa almost a month!
Should I lawyer up? We were planning to go back to the US esrly next year but I think were goung to get deported! What steps should I take? I’m thinking about calling the US Consulate and then going to ID in Wanchai. I’m reaading oists about keaving and then coming back but that can’t be done with Coronavirus. My in laws live in Macao but there’s no guarantee they’ll let us back in HK after overstaying a visa. And then there’s quarantine. Macao won’t let us in with US passports anyway.
I have a feeling this will not go well when I go to Wanchai early this week.
Thanks in advance.
