Hello jw23! You got yourself into a real mess! I am sorry I am saying this - really a lot to learn on this. And with one of your posts on this thread 'TRUST NO ONE' ... totally agree with you - but let us not say that it is just, fine and okay to do whatever we wish to do without obeying policies of Immigration at that. Well, you've done it now. I hope you would be able to solve your problems. Anoher word though, don't add more mistakes to what what has already been done. Changing names? Be very careful. Good luck!
