B2 visa expired, Asked for a visa extension but left before an answer.

[kasy019]

Hi,

I asked for a visa extension On January 7th. My current visa was going to expired on February 12th. by that time I didn't have an answer about my visa extension so I decided to leave the country on February 9th

The thing is that I filed for a 6 months extension before expiration of my visa, then left the US to go back home (Venezuelan citizen).

My question is this, I am thinking about going back to the United States in a month. I have not broken any laws but I have a visa extension process pending, they are still reviewing my case, so I don't know if is going to be approved or denied. When I come back to the USA, should I tell the immigration officer that I have a pending case?
will I get a new I-95? What is going to happen with my visa extension process?
Am I going to have any problem when entering the country again?

I didn't overstayed so I guess I shouldn't have any problem.

Thanks!

1. How long did you stay in the US last time?
2. What was your purpose of visit ? Was it B1 ( business ) or pleasure(B2)?
3. Did you return your original I-94 to the airline while leaving US?

4. What is your purpose now when going to US next month? How long do you wish to stay?

Sir,

I feel you have nothing to worry. You left the country timely and that is all that matters. Most likely, the Immigration Officer would not even ask you anything about your extension application. If he does ask, you can share, if he does not, there is no obligation to share this information about your extension.

Again, you left the country timely, so there is nothing wrong on your part.

Hope this helps.

B2 visa expired, Asked for a visa extension but left before an answer.?

Hi, Thank you so much. I also thing that I am fine. But at the same time I feel that I stayed for too long last time ( 6 months) . I didn't do anything illegal and I can prove that I am moving to Jakarta, Indonesia in 4 months so I am not interested on living in the USA.

I woud like to know what's the right thing to do because I don't want to spend money in a plane tkt if there is a possibility that they won't allow me to enter the country. If I find out that this is a big risk I am just going to forget about going to The USA.

Thank you so much for your help.

Your extension application is not a problem in this case because you returned before the expiry of I-94,
so that will be ignored when you enter next time.

But the problem is you are coming back so quickly after staying 6 mo nths.
It raises suspicion that you are a potential immigrant.
So they will stop you this time. Depending on the officer, they can either let you in with a warning, or a strict officer can even send you back
after lots of interrogation.
If they send you back, they will cancel your visa also.
So plan carefully.

ADVICE;

Wait 5-6 months before your next trip to US, then you won't have any problems.

Hello, Kasy019.

Peace999 is absolutely correct. Please do keep a gap ( 5-6 months) in your travel to USA, if you stayed the whole 6 months. 1 month is way too soon.

Wishing you luck.

Cheers,
