Dear experts, I sponsored my dad for his green card. Unfortunately, he fell sick due to long-term covid and is recovering from a long-term rehab facility. The USCIS is processing his I-485 application and has requested an updated I-693 medical form before Aug 28, 2023. He is not in a position...

Sure, Will provide an update in the forum when we receive any communication from USCIS. In the meantime, I have one more question on the I-539 form. My father-in-law filled the form as the applicant and added my mother-in-law to the application. He paid one filing fee of $370. Was this the...

Okay thanks for your input. So, as long they leave before the expiry of their current I-94, their visa will not get revoked, even-though their EOS application gets denied in the future.

I think, "All other change of status applications" does not cover our case. Our case is "All other extension of stay applications" , which is not specified in the processing timeframes. Do you agree? I called USCIS, who said that the estimated time-frame for cases not mentioned in processing...

Thanks for your prompt reply, Sm1smom, So, what are the current processing times like for EOS of B2 visas. As my previous post, it is not mentioned in the USCIS processing times window - which says 7.5 months. So, would it be like 3 months? We are currently running at 2.5 months now. I...

I was taking a peak of the I-539 processing times for VSC and realized our case ("extension of B2 visa") is not processing time list - "Extension of Stay for visas other than F, M, H, L and J". The "All other change of status applications" bucket in 4. is for change of status not extension of...

Hi, Could you please expert comment on the following scenarios: Their current I-94 expiry is 2/21/2018. They applied for an extension to 4/10/2018: 1. They decide to leave the US on 4/10/2018, with application still pending with USCIS a. Will this be considered as abandonment of application...

Thanks for your reply. Could you please provide me with the link the other forum. I would like to see experiences of folks in a similar boat. Thanks.

Hi, Happy New Year. It has been about 1.5 months since we applied for my parents-in-law extension. We received the receipt notice on Nov 20, 2017. The VSC processing times as of Oct 31 for 'all other applications' under form I-539 shows March 27, 2017 - a 6 month wait time on the decision. If...

Okay Thanks, A couple more questions - 1. Along with the I-539 application, a. Should I extend their tickets and include copy of confirmed ticket (this would obviously include the cost of changing flight date) or b. copy of new travel itinerary would be convincing enough. 2. Secondly, I...

Hi All, I'm planning to extend my parents-in-law's stay in the US for 2 months to April 15, 2018. Their I-94 expires on Feb 21, 2018. Should we include extended confirmed tickets in the I-539 application or a travel itinerary would be convincing enough. Secondly, I looked up the I-539...

Thanks for your reply. I reviewed the I-539 form & instructions and form M-752, that has specific instructions for B2 visa renewals and got the information I needed. Could you please assist with a follow-up question - My parents-in-law first entered to US in Dec 2014. Their passport has expired...

Dear experts, My parents-in-laws came from India to the US on Aug 22, 2017 for a 6 month visit on B2 visa. They are scheduled to return back on Feb 15th, 2018. We would like to extend their stay by 1.5 - 2 months to April 10th or 15th. They have a 10-year return B2 Visa through 2024, and have...

My parents bought some Indian shares for me when I was a kid in 1985 under my father’s and my name (first holder). We came to the US in 2007. I am now a Green Card holder and my father is on H1B work visa. We sold some of these shares AFTER I got the GC and would like to transfer the proceeds...

Dear Experts, My I-140 @ premium processing was submitted by my company lawyers on Sep 4, 2015. Since Sep 7 was a public holiday (Labor Day), it should have ideally reached the USCIS TSC by Sep 9. Since Premium processing provides a 15 calendar day processing guarantee, should I expect a reply...
