Dear Gurus,
As I was packing my documents ready for submission of I-485 package I discovered something that has frightened me to death, it is like this.
(1) My first passport was to expire on May 05th, 1998 extendable for another 5 years to 2003. I submitted it to my embassy for extension in April but it was stamped on June 18, 1998 that it has been extended to May 04th, 2003. The fact that it was stamped after it has expired worries me that it can be interpreted that there is a period that I was out of status.
(2) This passport eventually expired on May 04th, 2003 and hence I needed a new one. However, at that time my embassy told me that they had no new passport books. The new Passport was issued on July 10th, 2003 and it states that it is valid from that date. Now since my old one expired on May 04th, it means that during the period from May 05th to July 9th I was without a valid passport. Can this be a serious problem?
This is scaring me to death, what should I do?
I sincerely need an advice on this.
