Attending the interview and oath to acquire US citizenship under INA 322, and then returning to a residence abroad. INA 322 naturalization is a permissible activity in B2 status if the child is not relocating to the US. See 9 FAM 402.2-4(B)(7). Therefore, I believe it is also a permissible...

Your son is not doing Change of Status to another nonimmigrant status. He is becoming a US citizen.

Either is fine. If he is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program then getting an ESTA is easier.

What do you mean by "some type of registration receipt"?

You are not required to provide an I-94 when filling out the N-600K. If the online N-600K won't let you proceed without uploading it, file N-600K by paper.

1. She has lost H4 status. Her H4 visa is still valid, and she can still use it to enter the US as long as you are in H1b status. But if she subsequently works using the I-485 EAD, she will lose H4 status again. 2. No, you have not lost H1b status.

Which section is that? On the paper N-600K form, there is no question that asks for I-94. There is a question, Part 2 #14, that asks about the child's admission, but it says not to complete that section.

Did you get your green card via Adjustment of Status inside the US, or by entering the US with an immigrant visa? If you entered the US with an immigrant visa, then the immigrant visa, with an entry stamp showing you entered the US with it, is proof of your permanent residency. If you did...

You guys do each have an unexpired I-94 -- you both got I-797A approval notices for your Extension of Stay, and as part of the page of the approval notice, is a new paper I-94. Once you received that, it superseded any previous I-94s you may have had, including the I-94 you got at your entry...

I believe it is just one fee of $370, and no separate fee for the I-539As. Also note that if filed on or after April 1, the fee will be $420 if filed online, or $470 if filed by paper.

I think you would choose No, since each B2 is independent.

They are out of status and deportable since you changed status, but they have not accrued any "unlawful presence" since the date on their I-94 has not yet passed. They probably can't do Change of Status inside the US since they are out of status; late Change of Status applications are not...

You will need to attach a copy of your pending I-539's receipt. That will have a receipt number. You should also mention in your cover letter that you are basing this I-539 on a previous I-539 that is still pending.

It's not a problem. First, when your parents do get the receipt, the Received Date will reflect the date it was received. Second, even if they filed I-485 after their status expired, it would not affect their case.

Hmm maybe you can choose B2 and then write "(COS pending)" in pen

But if and when their COS is approved, if it is approved for 6 months, they will retroactively have a status now. If they want an EOS, they have to file it now, before 6 months, because if they don't, even if the COS is approved, it will only have been approved for a period of 6 months, so they...

I think you can put something like "COS to B2 pending". You are applying for a B2 Extension of Stay. B2 is not dependent on some other person's status.

She simply presents the above. The TN I-94 that she had on her last stay is not really relevant, as she is seeking to enter into a completely new stay as H4 on the basis of being the spouse of someone on H1b.

Yes, I-539 is the right form to file for Change of Status to H4 status. You can file online or by mail. It needs to be officially received by USCIS by the end of the grace period. The grace period is 60 days after the "cessation of employment" or when her I-94 expires, whichever is earlier. If...
