RFE on 7th year ext.
I have applied for 7th year extension in Premium Processing on Aug 1st 2003. Also asked for extra 6 months beyond 7th year.... for being out of USA in the H1 six years.
I got an rfe message online tracking with BCIS - vermont.
My attorney recieved a fax saying .... extension is asked for more than allowed time ( 6years)..... and if candidate is employed here and visited india on vacation, those months are not counted. Precisely,
" IT IS THE OPINION OF THIS SERVICE THAT TIME SPENT OUT OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE VALIDITY PERIOD OF A PETITION MUST BE COUNTED TOWARD THE ALIEN'S MAXIMUM PERIOD OF STAY IN THE US, PROVIDED THAT THE TIME SPENT OUTSIDE OF THE US WAS NOT INTERRUPTIVE OF THE ALLIEN'S EMPLOYMENT IN THE US.pERIODS OF TIME SPENT OUTSIDE OF THE US WHICH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A NORMAL PART OF WORK YEAR SUCH AS VACATINS, HOLIDAYS, AND WEEKENDS DO NOT INTERRUPT THE ALIEN'S EMPLOYMENT IN THE US SINCE THE ALIEN IS EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO TAKE TIME OFF DURING THE WORK YEAR.
Does this mean, they donot want give extra 6 months apart from 7th year? Or is it a sign of denial of 7th year ext itself?
Does any one has same rfe..... please reply urgent.......
