Important Question for Unitednations-Please respond
I don't know if you remember my case details - here it is in a nutshell: Pending 7th year extension application, my 140 was denied (2 weeks before my 6yr term was going to end), appeal filed and also re-filed 140/765/485 concurrently. Appeal is still pending, the re-filed applications are also still pending (obviously didn't make it into the pilot program though filed after Apr'04).
Latest development - just received a massive RFE on the H1 extension (after 5 months of filing) - unbelievable number of details requested (both hard evidence and explanations). They have given me till mid-Oct to respond. They haven't raised the issue of the original 140 denial though - these are strictly employer and position related questions (they didn't care about any of this in the initial H1 3 years ago but are asking now on a 1 year extension!)
Questions: Though my company is doing well and my job is stable, God forbid, if after responding to the RFE, they deny my H1 extension, will it make my stay illegal retroactively from the time my 6 year term ended in April 04? Will it invalidate all my other pending applications that were legally filed since April - such as the appeal and the newly filed 140/485?
I would appreciate your opinion on this and also from any other member who has gone through similarly complicated situations. Thanks
