So my J1 visa expired months ago and i applied for a tourist visa so i could stay here longer while waiting for flights. Will it go against me like will i have a hard time coming back to America if i go home without waiting for the results of the tourist visa?
It shouldn’t. Probably best to withdraw the application and give an explanation as to why.
The appointment was originally in May and cancelled. We are waiting on new appointment but do we have to do anything or file some paperwork in case it expires before we get a new appointment?
1st, contact USCIS to see about getting it rescheduled. While you are doing that, see if you can make an InfoPass appt. to get an extension sticker on it.
Hey, Have you already applied and been waiting for years? Thats a theme for 751 these days.
Or is this a new application? I can help you with that.
