Hi,

I am a canadian born citizen living in the US on a R1 visa. My Visa expires on the 22nd of July 2007, a week from today. I filed for the extension of my visa back in April 2007.They are currently working on April 15th 2007 cases at the USCIS and my case is a April 16 2007 case.

I don't know how much longer they will take with my case but I have to travel to Canada for my brother's wedding which will be after after my visa expires on the 22nd on July. I know I will not be allowed to re-enter under the current R1 status. Therefore is it possible that someone in the US can receive the visa and mail it to me in Canada, allowing me to return on the new extended visa?

My next question is, There seems to be a pattern of the Uscis changing the processing times on the 18th of each month. Ihave a feeling that they will be working on my April 16th case beginning July the 18th 2007. Approx how many days do they take on a normal case from the time they start working on it til I receive it in the mail?

Do I receive the whole package back ready to go or is there anything else I need to do after receiving it?

Thanks for helping out.
 
Hi there,

I filed my R-1 extension in May, the I-94 expired in July, I have been waiting all these time and last i heard they're still doing "background check" on my case. I am beyond frustrated. My wife who is also a canadian get hassle and question at the border for 2 hours every-time she crosses. :(
 
You must be a man of religion. Talk to the man upstairs with regards to your delay. :)
On a serious note, all applicants undergo background checks. You just need to be patient like the rest. Good luck!!!
