Shady Hills, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Over the years I have come to realize that just about anything can and will effect a case. Usually they come up at times that are problematic. If you want peace of mind have a consultation with an experienced Immigration Attorney who can review all aspects of your case. Many, such as myself, will do them by telephone.

The difficulty with filing a new I-539 or motion on I-290B is that you are already not legal in the US, and you face an unlawful presence bar of three years if you do either, and the adjudication takes over 180 days from the date of your initial decision, and you lose. If you do either one and the adjudication is not yet received by the fifth month after the expiration of your initial permitted stay, you will be faced with the choice of leaving the US to avoid the three year bar or staying and gambling that your application or motion will be approved. It is difficult to say which route would give you the best chance of being approved, but at least the I-290B motion would not be late. It should be further noted that DHS does not approve of persons coming into the US on tourist visas and giving birth in the country.
