Hi all.
I would appreciate any helpful feedback on our situation. Please see below.
We have an application pending for a change of status (I am American and my wife is Vietnamese). Applied in June and the interview is now scheduled for October.
I have a few questions about our upcoming interview and one reason to be concerned (due to our confusion, we applied for the change of status after her tourist visa expired).
A few more details for you:
- Married 7 years
- Lived most of the time in Australia (where I was working previously)
- We have 3 children (all whom are dual citizens - American and Vietnamese)
- Been in the US for 18 months, applied after about 15 (thinking we had at 9 months)
- She has had multiple B2 visas over the years and never over-stayed previously
With the recent enforcement changes, I am worries that she may be detained at the interview (as she "technically" over-stayed). At first, I thought the burden it would have on me (the American petitioner and our 3 children) would prevent them from doing such. Now I am nervous.
Thoughts? Has anyone else either applied after the B2 expired or know of a similar case?
Many thanks.
