Grammar
Passive Tense question
Ok so I'm having a problem.
It's probably a very easy question but I can't seem to figure it out.
Please tell me which sentence is correct:
I haven't been invited, but I've come anyway. (I think this one is correct because it's followed by another present perfect.)
I wasn't invited, but I've come anyway. (For some reason it sounds all right)
I'm not invited, but I've come anyway. (The 'use simple present when expressing a fact' made me wonder, can this be considered as a fact?)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know, but the thing is, the second part of the sentence is given.
I'm not allowed to change it, so I guess the first option is the best one indeed.
Thank you both!
