CR1 VISA expired

Hello everyone,

Last year I was granted CR1 VISA. The date was July 2008 and will expire December 2008. I entered United States last week of October 2008, when I was at the POE, they asked me the purpose of my travel and I said: " to visit my husband's family and friends, also to give my self leisure time...". I can't lie or say to be with my husband because my husband is in South Korea being an active US Army serviceman.

Now, my husband will be moving to North Carolina and I should be coming with him. Problem is my CR1 VISA was expired all ready. We did not do any adjustment of status. I also did not receive SSN even if I applied to give me automatic SSN.

His orders came short (not prepared) so this is really an urgent matter for us. He will be leaving Korea next week.

Please help me.

entry on a CR-1 visa is typically enough ... for a CR visa there is NO adjustment of status.

Did they put an I-551 stamp in your passport?

If not then you need to go back to the consulate and see if they will re-issue

YMMV
