Hey All,
I was approved an R-1 status on September 2014 for 6 months until March 2015. Before expiration date, the organization applied for an extension of the R-1 status, requesting an additional year (March 2015-April 2016). In august we received an RFE, to which we replied to on October. As I'm writing this, the petition is still pending.
I filed a I-539 last week, For which I still did not get a WAC #. I keep hearing bad things, so I called USCIS to check for my current status, and they told me that as long as the petition is still pending, Im in an authorized period of stay...But for some reason I dont feel comfortable with that, what are your thoughts? Should I exist the country? I feel like my case fell between the cracks and that I am in a limbo because even if the petition will be approved, it will be approved for the dates requested (already passed). Is it true?
Additional information:
I enrolled in a local state university and currently a sophmore.
Almost my entire family (6 out of 7) is living here. All documented (GC/citizens).
I am 25, unmarried.
