Usa Visa Overstay
I am wintering in Montana whilst on a RWT. I applied for a USA visa extension in plenty of time before my visa was due to expire. I assumed the visa extension would be formality as I satisfy all the criteria however I got notice today that my application was rejected. My visa expired five weeks ago. The letter I received today states that I have been here illegally for the last five weeks although of course I didn't know that until today! I had hoped to go to Alaska then return to the lower 48 and leave the USA at the Mexican border. I'm now worried that if I go to Canada I may not be allowed into Alaska or back into the lower 48 as I have unwittingly until today overstayed. I could probably head straight for Mexico without any problem but I was hoping to go to the Yukon and Alaska. Any advice?
