Q: A family came to do volunteer mission on B visas. We'd like them to stay (change status to R). Can the dependents stay?
The primary will go from B to R (I-129), but can the dependents stay in the US while this is in process? How do I apply for R2s for them? Will they have to return to Bahamas while this is in process, or do they have to return after approval? Is there an additional form to file with the I-129? 2 Adults, 2 kids.
A: Retain counsel to represent you. A consultation should be set up so that the facts of the case can be reviewed. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.
Ms Grace I Gardiner agrees with this answer
A: Like the previous attorney said you need to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss the chamois status from B1/B2 ti R1/R2
