    Default Overstayed While Waiting for B2 Extension

    Hi!

    I've been in the US twice but I overstayed in my last visit while waiting for the approval of my application for extension. But until the time I returned to my home country, I did not receive any response from the USCIS. Online inquiry then (2005) tells me that the status of my case is still in process but if I inquire now, it tells that my case status is incomplete. I am planning to go back to the US but I am afraid that I would not be allowed entry due to the extension/overstaying issue.

    Badly need your advice... am really confused.

    Thank you.

    We don't know anything about your circumstances, what country you're from, what type of visa you intend to use to enter.... All we can say at this point is "Try and see what happens." Care to share some context?

    Mr. Knowitall,

    Thank you for your immediate response.

    Philippines is my home country but I am presently here in Dubai on a tourist visa. My B1/B2 visa (10 years multiple entry) will be expiring July 2011. From Dubai, my plan is to visit my friend in the US before I finally go back home.

    Thanks again!

    Leaving while extension request is in processing should not void your visa. Leaving after the request has been denied may have voided your visa, and you would need to reapply in your home country. People report both being admitted and being denied entry after receiving a denial of an extension request so it is not clear what rule is actually being applied inconsistently.

    What a relief! I'll surely post an update if I push through with my plan... just to give an idea to those with a case like mine.

    Thank you, T53147!
