Aging out has a complicated set of rules. There is a chance that you may age out. However, if you are in the U.S., then you 'may' qualify to adjust status based upon INA Section 245(i). I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. You will need to find a law firm, like our office, that takes the time to evaluate the situation and provide enough answers to satisfy your concerns. This may take a while, which is why many attorneys choose to charge an appointment fee.

A reasonable of time is probably 5-6 months. If you try to make a quick turnaround, a CBP officer may very well ask you what you left behind when you try to reenter. A long period of stay in the US followed by a quick trip overseas and attempted return can raise questions.

Tourist visas are always submitted thru the US Consular Office abroad. As a general rule, the consulate is looking to establish that the applicant will comply with what a tourist does - visit family, visit Disney, go to the beach and leave. So any evidence that shows that the visit will be temporary and that the applicant will return abroad is helpful. For most cases, an attorney is really not needed. Just be honest, tell the truth, complete the application correctly and all should be fine.
