Hi,
I came to US on H4 visa, accompanying my husband who is on H1B visa. On Oct 2002, our I-94 and Visa expired. His employer filed for my husband's extension and he got his H1 approval 2 days back. Now, when we got his H1 then we came to know that they should have filed seperate H4 for me. They missed that & they accept this is their fault, but it has been more than 180 days since I am out-of-status.
What possible options I have? Is there a way I can convince INS that this was my company's fault, pay some penalty and make my record straight?
My husband's company says they can file for my H4 now, but its going to take few months to know INS reaction. Is there chance I might be denied H4, when his company is putting that on paper that it was their fault. What effect this is going to make when I go back to my country and return to US (assuming I get new visa)
Please someone ...give me some idea...
thanks a lot..
