@manjilmagar Thank You for your prompt feedback. Below are the follwing criteria for #1.
I) You were a nonimmigrant, were granted voluntary departure status, or any relief from removal
II) You had an application for change of status, adjustment of status, asylum, voluntary departure, or any relief from removal which was pending or subject to further review or appeal
III) You were a parolee or had a pending request for re-parole
IV) You are a spouse of an individual who is currently eligible for TPS
My understanding was that for criteria I) its ) You were a nonimmigrant or were granted voluntary departure status, or any relief from removal. My assumption was based on "or" for each these. I don't think it is II) for application for change of status (since I was in a continuous OPT status), no AOS. Voluntary Departure is listed on II) as well. III and IV) certainly doesn't apply in my case. It could be I) or II). I have consulted several lawyers and they have stated that I am eligible for late filing from their brief discussion but we haven't discussed to a point to define my actual late filing criteria. Hope discussions in Sajha will provide more information for late filings. Appreciate it.
