Thanks Chicagoan,

We tried to call USCIS at 800 375 5283, however very difficult to get hold of a real person, is there is direct number or hot line or any other simple way to connect with the USCIS agent?.

Is there anything we could say or do that will them make an exception for the potential overstay that is caused by the pandemic / covid crisis in Nepal that has prevented the return to Nepal.


As we are working in good faith to return asap and however Nepal is in lockdown and it is not safe to go. We are in the process of returning as soon as it is safe go do so. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 4 Travel Health Notice for Nepal due to COVID-19, indicating a very high level of COVID-19 in the country.

US has been sending Direct Relief-chartered aircraft loaded with oxygen concentrators and Covid-19-specific medical supplies to Nepal as it confronts the world’s highest per-capita Covid-19 case burden. Hospitals across Nepal are nearing ICU and ventilator capacity and struggling with severe shortages of oxygen and other medical resources.

We had called the USCIS center and spoken with the representative when applying for extension of visa beyond October 2020. The agent had said that since USCIS action was still pending, it is not possible to file for another extension before the first extension is approved. Since the approval of extension is taking a long time and could result in potential overstay even though our intention has always been to follow the rules and regulation of US Immigration.

What is the right way to handle this?
