Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

B2 Extension Denied, I -130 filed

I applied for an extension while in the US before my stay expired but the extension was denied. I left the US as soon as the extension was denied but due to the pending extension application I stayed 2 months beyond my I-94 date.

My Wife's sister has filed I -130 (F4 category) for my wife and me last year. My wife has always been in status while her visit to US.

Will the overstay due to pending extension cause a problem when our call comes to immigrate to US?

I am forwarding your question to my partner Ms Lisa R. Brenman, a prominent US Immigration Attorney for her expert advice.

However, you may also directly send her an e-mail if required.

Dear Inquirer:

As long as you did not overstay by more than 6 months from the date the request for extension was denied, there is no penalty when you seek admission as immigrants. The DHS may, however, question you regarding the overstay if you attempt to reenter with the visitor's visa in the meantime, so you should have copies of that documentation ready if you are contemplating such a visit.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.
