It was not my intention to question people's contributions to the forums (I am not a frequent visitor here) but if I have done so I apologize. The point I was trying to make is that the overstay is in the past (and there is nothing I can do to change it). All I am trying to do is get factual...

If you have no useful information/assistance to provide on this thread then don't bother responding. The last 2 responses seem to be needlessly vicious and self-serving. The extension was filed and whether it was a mistake or not is moot at this point. As for pushing the term "visitor" my...

Thanks for the informative replies. Yes, we did save the boarding pass stub. Also the passport has the stamp from Indian immigration saying she entered India on March 28th, 2006 (two days after she left US - the two days is the transit time of course) We are re-applying for the visa now...

My mother needs to apply for a visitor's visa in New Delhi. Can she drop off all the forms at the VFS location rather than going the online route? Also once all the forms/information has been dropped off, how does the visa interview get scheduled? Does she have to contact VFS again or is the...

Hi, Thanks for your response, techie8. I know there is no way of knowing for sure but is reapplying for the new visa a straightforward process? We did not try to cheat in any way and did everything in good faith. She left 2 days after we received the denial letter (which can essentially be...

Can someone please help clarify? Does a new visa have to be applied for? thanks!

Just a follow up - so as I understand she will need to file for a new visa at the US Consulate in New Delhi? The link in the reply above does not point to a PDF file so I could not tell what the process was. She has a 10 year visa valid till 2014 so I am not sure what she will say at the US...

San Jose N400 Timeline Folks, I also got my oath letter yesterday (8/23). Oath Ceremony is at 1 PM on Sept 19 in Campbell. Thanks to Huracan and others for reassuring me last week when I had started to get worried and kudos for being spot-on with your predictions. My details. N-400...

How long for the oath notice? My interview was successfully finished on August 1st. How long does the oath ceremony notice take to come usually (the interviewing officer said I would be scheduled into an oath ceremony in the 3rd week of September). N-400 timeline DO : San Jose Notice...

SJ FP Question I am planning to do a walk-in for FP (notice came with 1/30 date when I will be traveling). What are the timings for the San Jose district office? And what are the best times to go in? Is early in the morning best?

Thanks for your response. One other question: Does my mother need to re-apply for a new visa or can she use her existing 10-year multiple entry as long as she maintains the records of her prompt departure (boarding passes, denial notice etc) after receiving the notice.

Extension just got denied I received the denial notice today. The reason given is that "Statement was not provided" as to why the stay would be temporary". This is actually quite false since we had put this information explicitly into a cover letter with the application. The denial notice was...

KBN, Thanks for your reply! Can you tell me how much time it took in your case to get the petition approved from the time you filed it? My application was received on 1/11 and since this is a pretty straightforward case I was hoping to get a quick turnaround but I guess this is the INS... I...

My mother entered the US on Dec 19th 2005. At the port of entry, the official found that her passport was expiring on Feb 22nd, 2006 and so her I-94 was given till Feb 22nd. Since then I have had her passport renewed and then filed for the extension for the I-94 till end of March, 2006. However...
