B-2 Extension of Status Application Filed Months Ago...still waiting for decision?
Did you enter the United States on a B-2 tourist visa, file an extension of status in the U.S., and a decision on the extension of status application is still pending? U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is currently taking eight to twelve months to adjudicate a B-2 extension of status application. Individuals with pending extension of status applications should be very cautious when leaving the United States. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will not admit individuals back to the United States if they left more than six months after the application for extension was filed. There are serious consequences and appropriate measures should be taken.
Please contact us if you have questions about B-2 visas or any other aspect of immigration law.
Do you have the source for this rule/policy? I haven't seen it. Thanks.
That info came from a CBP/AILA liaison meeting in October. Contact us and we'll be glad to give you more details.
