[ICAlaw101]

Bro Jdaniel,

ICA usually do not state the ban period in official documents. However, occasionally it may be stated only when the officer filled the old template form. I do not known exactly how much the lawyer fee costs. Some bros in e forum say it is a couple of low thousands paid via instalments. In your gf case, it is a minor case of overstaying (due to the short period of overstaying). Do you recall why she was given a special pass earlier? That is to say why was her passport confiscated by either police, mom or av and she was sent to ICA to report?

On the next working day which she went back,she was charge for overstaying by the ica officer,she has never intend to overstay in the first place as she has already bought her air tickets which she was suppose to fly back on the same day,i wanted to explain things to them as my gal is not well verse in english,however,they refused to entertain me, they say there was nothing i could do,just have to wait,now i do not know if she could really come over and marry,how much does it cost if i were to get a lawyer? Need some financial planning now
