My best friend came to the US in 2002 on an F-1 visa. She however got into some financial problems and was unable to maintain status. In 2004, she left the country in order to attend a funeral, and forgot to get her I-20 signed. When returning to the country, she was detained by CBP, her student visa was cancelled, and was declared inadmissible at the San Juan airport. She returned to her country, but however was able to get another F1 visa and return to pursue her studies.
She came back to the US and went back to school. However, her dad stopped paying her tuition. She was out of school in Spring of 2006 and Spring of 2007. She went back to school in the Summer of 2007 without any notification of a problem. When trying to register for the Fall 2007 Semester, her DSo tod her that her SEVIS had been cancelled since February as well as her Student Visa. At no time between february when the visa was cancelled, and July when she registered for the Summer semester which she completed, was she told that her visa had been cancelled.
This is her predicament.
Her father filed an I-130 for her in 2004 when he was a permanent resident, but never got a receipt notice in the mail. He then filed another I-130 petiton in 2006 when he became a US Citizen. At this time, my friend was now 22. In May, it said that the Petition was sent to the California Service Center and if anymore information is needed, they will notify them.
Since my friend has obviously overstayed unaware by her because the school never notified her in February that her visa was cancelled, what will happen now? Can she still adjust status in the country because she overstayed? Can she move the processing to a consular and continue with the filing outside of the US? If she leaves the country because she doesn't want to keep overstaying now that she knows her visa is cancelled, will she be subject to a 3 or 10 year ban?
PLEASE HELP....IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS...YOUR INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
