I applied for my I94 extension(L1B visa). My visa and I94 expired on 24 April 2006. I applied for extension on 25 Mar 2006. How long USCIS takes to process my request? Thanks ahead for your help.

It Should not take more than 6 months but if it does you can go to uscis.gov website and check the status or "If you were granted permanent resident status or entered the U.S. with an immigrant visa more than 60 days ago and have not received your first permanent resident card, please call   1-800-375-5283"

You have to leave and reenter the country, because you become an illegal immigrant as soon as you I-94 expires. The I-94 supercedes your you visa. The visa allows you to enter the US until 2008, the I-94 regulates the length of each visit.  You didn't get until 2008 because you probably have a tourist visa.\nOr you can apply for permanent residency.

This is my best guess, not guarantees:\n214(B) does not apply to a L Visa.  The L visa allows for dual intent and hence it is reasonable that you might eventually petition to live permanently in the United States.  However, if you were denied a B1/B2 there was probably a good reason.  The Consular Officer will consider the circumstances that lead to the initial denial in your upcoming interview.  Please ask a more detailed question explaining why you were denied under 214(b).

I went through a court.\n\nFile a I-130 petition..takes them forever.\n\nThen file the I-485 Adjustment of Status package (for residency)\n\nBeen 4 years and i still haven't done the latter...it takes forever and isn't really cheap...but it's doing it the legal way.

call the police and explain ur situation ( illeagal immagration is a big thing now days so ) they will be more than happy to help you find out if his visa is expired, then contact a lawyer incase he' tries anything.

This website provides the processing dates:\nhttps://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp;jsessionid=djO_YqCqnQpd\n\nRest of the info can be found on \nwww.uscis.com\n\nBut as far as I know, you can apply for employment authorization, as soon as you apply for the permanent residency (whether it gets approved or not)...and you should be able to get it in 90 days after that.

If you've already filed the I-751, you should have received a notice from USCIS extending the validity of the I-551 for another year, which you would then use to re-enter the US along with the expired greencard.  \n\nIf you did not receive the extension notice, if you were in the US, you would have been able to make an infopass appointment to receive a stamp in the passport to extend the I-551 another year.\n\nWithout the extension notice, I think your wife will be denied re-entry to the US.  Lying to the CBP and entering as a visitor will not work if her passport is scaned, as all her immigration information is available to the CBP, just by scanning her passport.

Joshua,\n\nWhen your wife (J1) left to return to your country, you became an illegal alien. Then you waited one year after your J2 visa expired to inquire how you could apply for permanent residence. All these actions could jeopardize any chance you had to letigimize your stay. Your employer could have filled out a form requesting your change of visa status. My best advice to you is to consult with a reputable immigration lawyer as obtaining permanent residency is not as simple as filling out some forms. Good Luck!

Until the visa number becomes available, you can not adjust your status. While the I-130 was filled by your husband, the I-485 should be filled by you (once the visa number is available). You get a letter when the visa number is available.\n\nIf you waited for 2 years then it sounds to me that USCIS screwed up somewhere, the visa number should've been available by now. There is no quota for spouses of US citizens so there is no waiting period (other then processing) for get your green card.\n\nYou need to call USCIS customer service 1 (800) 375-5283 and find out what's going on

H1B extensions generally take 2-3 months.\n\nYou can leave the country without the approval, but your employer will need to send it to you in India and then you will need to apply for the visa stamp at the appropriate US Embassy.\n\nGood luck!

well what happened ? if your not using a lawyer. it will take longer. it can take up to 4 years for it to be approved. did you turn in a good medical history ? show proof of contact ? etc.. etc.. etc..

990 to 999 sounds quite low, I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer, 10 years sound more accurate if you are a Mexican national, 5 years otherwise.\nUnfortunately, there is nothing that you can do except bring her illegally of course (everybody seems to do it :) ). \n\nRight now there is a V visa available for people who applied before December 21, 2000 and still did not get their permanent residency status. The visa allows them to come to US live and work while waiting for their visa number...\n\nIt's a sad reality but this is where is stands\n\nShe will not qualify for any non-immigrant status (i.e. students visa) since her immigration status is pending.

OK listen. i had to track down a friends visa for them.and  this is what i did. i e mailed the embassy that was dealing with the applications. giving them all the details with the application number etc. address. home address. every thing. and within 48 hours i had an e mail back from the embassy telling me how the application was going. but i must admit. normally when you apply for a visa you normaly get a date and a time to go back for a answer to weather the application has been accepted. so if i were you id track it all down. and find out whats happening. e mailing is the quickest way. good luck.

No honey. They give you two specifications. The first one are the validity dates and the second one the number of days but they are complimentary. This means that the 20 days must be within the validity days. You must NEVER stay longer that a VISA permits, this could cause you troubles and set a record for the future!

If you have a valid basis to immigrate and file the appropriate application, and along with that application you file a separate form for work authorization, the regulations state CIS (formerly the INS), has 90 days to process it.  Some offices process the work permit the same day, others take more than the 90 days.  It all depends on the basis for your immigration in the first place, and how busy the office is.  \n\nIt is not OK to work while you are waiting for your work authorization.
