Q: Can I go back to my country without completing my EOS process? I overstayed because of Covid-19.
I overstayed here in America due to Covid-19 but I filed and EOS before the expiration of I-94. I am just worried that I won't be able to comeback here in the U.S. without the EOS decision
A:
Hello. Yes, if you have an extension application pending, it is possible to travel without abandoning the application. This is different from Adjustment of status, where leaving the U.S. will result in abandoning the application, resulting in a denial. Moreover, COVID 19 is a worldwide pandemic and is a valid reason for changing plans if you have to explain on any future applications. good luck!
