If your relationship with your fiancée is bona fide, you should get married and have her petition for your residence status. I note that if your relationship is not bona fide, you and she could both face five years in federal prison and/or $250,000 in fines apiece for marriage fraud. As you have already been out of status for one year, you are not eligible for reinstatement to F-1 student status. You will generally not find a sympathetic ear to your situation as you could have requested part-time employment authorization from U.S.C.I.S. based on your family circumstances.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Sounds like a serious problem. You should see a Board Certified lawyer such as myself to get a second opinion.

If you violate the immigration rules which your visa is based on, the chances of been denied entrance is there. However the decision of the violation, if there exist will be made by reviewing the WIC application you filled to see if you mislead the department by your answers to the questions asked to qualify you for the program. I am not sure there is a problem with opening a bank account in the US as a visitor.
