Re: Status Change

Your friend can withdraw the asylum application if it's evident that she's eligible for an H-1B or another non-immigrant visa AND the 15 months spent without authorization can be excused. One would need to review the whole case in its entirety to make a definite judgment. You can contact me for further information at [email protected]
