Over stay

[vksneeru]

I came to US on B2 10-year multiple visa, my I-94 is going to expire in a few weeks (first time extension approved ). My husband’s citizenship application has been pending for the past 10 months, it is in internal security check . Since we don’t know how much time it will take for my husband’s citizenship to get approved I am in confusion if I should go back to India and apply for my GC from there and wait there until my GC gets approved or just overstay in US and apply for GC after my husband’s citizenship is approved. Not sure what kind of problems do I face if I try to come back to US with my multiple visa after 6 months as my marriage was registered in US.

How much time it will take for counsellor processing if I apply for GC from India?


Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Instead of becoming out of status in US your best bet is to go back to India. From India it takes 6-8 months if your husband is US citizen from the date of him filing for you.

Before taking any step speak to an immigration lawyer ASAP.

Good luck.

My husband is not a citizen. He is a GC holder. I have to apply based on his GC from India.

Does any one know how many years the whole process will take from India.

Thanks in advance.

It will take 12-18 months as the processing is very fast at present. I suggest you apply ASAP as the processing can go slow any time.

Good luck.
