Hi. First of all I would like to thank to everybody whom may read this. I really need help. So please don't hesitate to follow my story and I hope someone really can help me. Please.. Thanks in advance.
I came here to US, since Nov 2006. My I-94 expired on May 2, 2007. I applied for B2 tourist visa extension on April 2007. As I understand that I may stay lawfully while my case still pending; on late July 2007 I filed my 2nd case -- that is exchange of status to F1 visa. Because I was accepted on Master Programs here in CA. Using the same I-539 (to extend stay/exchange status).
My problem is, really big problem, that my 1st case already got denied the letter of denial is written on August 13, 2007. And according from the letter I should depart from US within 30 days (my deadline is September 10).
But I still have my 2nd case pending (my exchange of status to F1 visa).
My questions are (please help me, i'm really sad and need input):
1. Should I wait here (stay in US) for my 2nd case result? Will I still have legal rights to stay here in US, while my 1st extension case had been denied?
2. I have B2 5 years tourist visa, is that true that when I depart from US, they will VOID my visa (no longer use) even though they don't stamp it?
3. If I go back to my home country (Indonesia), will I be able to apply the F1 visa from there?
4. When I go home, what are the things I should do, to make me eligible to come back anytime to US, or to be successful later on to apply the new Visa?
I just found this web and forum today. I really really hope, someone would be able to give me some helps, suggestions, and opinion.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mulexus.
Thanks guys
