 y parents are here in USA with multiple 5 year entry visa. They were granted 6 months stay at port of entry. They plan to stay here another 5 months and extension request has been filed to USCIS. If they are granted extension, and if they go back to Nepal within valid extended I-94 period, do they have to appear at US Embassy for an interview (even they have valid 5 year visa stamped on passport) when they plan to come again next time to US??Some people told me that when they stay on extension, they need to go to US EMbassy for interview before they come to USA. Please share if any of you your known one has gone in such situation. I understand that if extension of visa is denied, then the time period beyond original I-94 date is considered as illegal stay. What you heard is wrong. this happened to one of my relatives too and they gave him 1 month time to return even if his 6 month stay visa had expired. If denied, USCIS will send you new I-94 with enough time frame for people to leave. Now a days, the processing time is very late. My parents extension Approval letter came after they left (left within 6 months of extra extention). Approval letter came after 8 months only. With their old expired I-94 they returned. But now they are here again. No illegal. because USCIS will have all in their system. The main thing you have to keep in mind is the extension period i.e till what date you wrote on Extention form I-539 that your parents will stay here? It should not be more than 6 months from the previous visa expiry date (i.e if their visa is till October 30 2008, you can extend till April 30 2009) If they stay beyond that extended date of April 30 2009, waiting for approval, they will be illegal. The reason for this is if you get Approval letter even after 10 months, USCIS will send new I-94 with visa till April 30 2009 only. Because that is what you wrote on Extention form. Your parents have to return before this date even if the extention is pending. They can go back with old expired I-94. They will not be illegal. Most of the denied letter come before the extention date expires with some time frame to leave. USCIS does not make anyone illegal. Unless you yourself are ignorant to keep track of the dates.
If somebody has 5 year multiple visa, then they need not go to embassy everytime they return from USA. Only after expiration of 5 year visa if they want to come to USA again, they need to reapply for visa. Call USCIS customer service. They will answer it. There is another one office too which you all might don't know. It is called CUSTOM and BORDER PROTECTION OFFICE. USCIS and CBP are connected. If you want to know about your old I-94's you can call CBP. |
. The staff at Port of Entry who interview us all belong to this CBP. They also give lot of information mostly regarding I-94
