My wife needs her extension filed soon. I downloaded the latest revision of I-539 from the official USCIS website and noticed that the form was updated with new questions.
One of the new questions says: "Are you currently or have you ever been a J-1 exchange visitor or a J-2 dependent of a J-1 exchange visitor? Yes or No"
My wife came to the US as a J-1 exchange student and later changed her status to B before we got married. She got her TD last year without issues.
Is the USCIS now keeping an eye on the previous J-1 visitors trying to change their status in the US? Or it is another possible reason for the immigration to deny extensions.
She never overstayed nor violated the immigration laws and we do our best to play by their rules that are often biased, incompassionate and unfair. Not to mention that the new fee to file a I-539 is $300.
Is there something to worry about regarding the new question about the J-1 status? Should I file the previous version of that application maybe? It says on the official website that previous revisions are accepted.
Thanks!
