Can i stay if my h4 is denied and appeal is pending since 6 months?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The rule is that illegal presence does not accrue for individuals on F-1 status unless they have either received a denial from U.S.C.I.S. or an order from the immigration judge. In your case, you received a denial from U.S.C.I.S. on March 25, 2012, and appear to have have accrued illegal presence ever since. The exception would be if the H-4 denial acknowledged that you were still maintaining your F-1 status. Failing that, you should stay and wait for the results of your motion to reopen or reconsider (would not be an appeal since change of status applications are non-appealable) since you are already past the time that it would make any sense for you to leave the US. Having accrued illegal presence for over a year, you would be barred from returning to the country for 10 years if you now left. It also appears from your fact pattern that you have a fairly good chance of winning your motion.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

My child is visiting my brother in US under VWP and he didn't know that allowed time is 90 days, so her return ticket is with 18 days overstay

Alan Lee

It is a bad idea to overstay under the visa waiver program if the individual wants to reenter the US at a later point. The person can then have problems with CBP upon entry. I strongly suggest that you forget the cost of the ticket and buy another so that she does not overstay.

If my husband has cheated on me, can I stop him for being granted permanent residency in the USA since he is now a temporary residence?

Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Your husband received residence in the U.S. that is conditioned on his continued marital relationship with you. If you divorce him, he will not be able to remove conditions on his residence and will be asked to leave the U.S. You might also affirmatively withdraw the affidavit of support you filed for his adjustment of status - that will prompt USCIS to move against him rather quickly.
