Filing and asking for an extension

[arwensun1965 0]

Hi All

Jon and I would like to file as soon as possible for our CR1, we have all the paperwork completed, the only thing that is stopping us is my daughter. Alarna has been asked to do a degree, it is at college and it has to do with her child care course, they told her she is good at this and I would really like her to finish what she is doing as she would make a great nanny. My question is can we get an extension for her at the Embassy when we have our interview, she needs to stay at college until May 2008. Hopefully we will not have an interview until December 2007 so it would not be an issue as I know we have 6 months to use the visa but if it is before this date then what is the procedure???

Thanks

Janice

Once your family is approved and complete the POE here in the states, you'll receive a greencard in the mail within 2 weeks. Once you have your greencard, you can leave the USA and come back freely. In your daughters case, she may want to apply for a re-entry permit before she leaves the country if she plans on being out of the USA for more than a year.

I would not let your present situation hold you up in submiting the papers and getting the process stared right now.

Goodluck!
