Q: Hi there, my case was just denied Form I-140, after an RFE on my EB1 visa. Can I go home to my own country now?
I have been waiting in the USA due to not being able to leave after getting an RFE, but now that I see my case was denied yesterday on the https://egov.uscis.gov website, does that mean I can just go home? Or do I have to wait for their official letter?
A:
It is best to understand the consequences of the decision. You may never qualify for a non-immigrant visitor visa, or other non-immigration visa, if you’ve demonstrated immigration intent. There may be other concerns that such a departure can trigger.
As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before you depart, so that there are no other complications.
