Hey

I wonder if anybody can help me I have in June applied for Change of Status from a B2 to L2. I came to the US in January 2009 with my boyfriend of 6 years as he transfered from his employer in the UK to the US.

Because we were not married he came on a L1 visa intra company tfr and I had to come on a B2 visa. I was granted 6 months at the airport and was told by the immigration officer we would either need to get married or I would need to apply for extension of B2. We decided to get married in May 2008 and I applied for a change of status in June 2008.

I have now overstayed as I was granted stay until the 29th July originally, does anyone know now if I can travel in the US whilst I am waiting for my status to be changed? I know I cant leave the US and then return back as my application would be withdrawn. UCSIS have advised me that the waiting time for my application is currently 352 days and my cases is that Vermont Processing Centre. Sorry if none of this makes sense and I would really appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer my questions.
