Getting DENIED because forgot to cancel returning ticket??????

[Trisha89 36]

Hello Visajourney members,

I have a really important question the story to it real quick:

This year I was flying to see my (at that time still) boyfriend in the usa!

We planned a round trip ticket from march 25th until april 7th 2013(I entered at poe with my two weeks stay)! While I was there we planned me staying longer so we booked a oneway returning ticket back on June 16th 2013! I was there only with my ESTA I didn't had a visa but I never came over the 90 days that you "can" stay in the usa with your ESTA.

The point is: We never cancelled the RETURNING flight on my first returning ticket!

I've been reading here that because of this people were getting denied when they were applying for their AOS when they came to the usa without cancelling their returning flight!

We are applying for a K1 and my question js could it be that we maybe never receive a NOA2 from the USCIS because of this?

THANKS FOR HELPING,.....

USCIS has nothing to do with that. All they do is backgrounds check to the petitioner, check all papers that are sent in correctly. Since you already have your NOA-1 just wait until they approved your I-129F. You're now in 2 months for waiting. So you'll be fine.

Hi trisha, if i understand what your saying i did the same thing when i visited tisha, i bought a return ticket for 3 weeks stay there but i stayed for just under the 90 days and i never cancelled my return ticket and we bought a one way when i was returning back to ireland so that wouldnt matter as long as you didnt stay beyond the 90 days which you said you didnt

No.

Your situation is not the same as the one for those filing for AOS. In the past people had been told they left the US after entering with a K-1 because they did not cancel their return ticket, which makes them abandon their AOS eligibility. Your issue is not the same and will have no affect on your K-1 visa application and certainly not the I-129F petition. You just filed in August, so it has only been 3 months. There is no issue here.

I think you misunderstood the other thread.. It says that the airline MIGHT forget to cancel your name off the airline name list and take as if you are flying..

I doubt you will have any issue with your petition! Be patient and good luck on your journey

The issue comes with abandoning your AOS . If you leave without AP you have dropped your petition. They check to see if you leave. If the airline leaves you on the outbound passenger list you get tagged for leaving the US without AP or green card.

What happens then, how does that get corrected?

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

You would have to prove that the airlines report is wrong by presenting sold proof that you didn't travel. Can be fixed but not without headache

Urgh. So much money wasted. You could have just rescheduled your return flight for a few hundred bucks. But I doubt it is a concern to uscis good luck with everything.

I would be very surprised if this would be reason to get denied! I doubt USCIS will check your flight schedules Don't worry, the extend of it might be that they will ask you for the date that you did leave the US to make sure you didn't overstay.
