Hi folks: I'm in the process of trying to extend my 2nd, 3-year O-1B - which expired June 30, 2016 - for just a year. I submitted a petition early June, and in Sept received an RFE...
I've tried to meet the evidence requested, but have some doubts about whether it's now going to be approved. In the event of a denial, it's going to come more than 180 days after my O-1B / I-94 expiry, and likely around the petition-pending 240 days work limit...
I want to know how quickly I'll need to leave the country if denied!? I've read contradictory stuff: some say I'll have 6 months before deportation looms, others say you get 30 days grace, and others say I'll immediately be over 180 days authorized and should leave instantly. I've been here 8 years on different visas, so it's pretty stressful proposition... can anyone clarify?
Thanks!
