I'm trying to apply for the R-1 visa and the church that I affiliate with have agreed to provide the essential documents to get me going.

 

The problem I have is that the church isn't familiar with what to do. The last Pastor who did have experience with this application is no longer here due to his medical conditions. The beneficiary at the time, my grandfather, has passed away a few years ago and my grandmother didn't have information on how it was done.

 

I need advice. Please. I have limited time here in the US.

I did not, due to finance . I just applied for an extension which I got the receipt but still waiting for their decision. 

 

I really want to get educated, from my knowledge R-1 could lead me on that path as time goes by. Hopefully. I’m desperate to go to school, so I need guidance.

i539s can take around 6 months, faster to apply for visas at home. 

Presumably your ties to Fiji are fairly weak seeing you've spent the past 10 months in the US as a visitor.
