Hello everyone!

 

Does anybody have experience with staying a long time in the US? I know we are asked this question during our interview, "what was your longest stay in the US"? I'm just wondering if it would have a negative impact on me getting my green card? I know legally we can stay 6 months and I have a legitimate reason to be here (my MIL is getting chemo until October 20 and I am responsible for bringing her weekly there). I've been here since May 30th. Also, with COVID I cannot just come and go as the US border is not open. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! Stay strong everyone!!! 

 

I'm DQ'd Feb 2, 2021- anybody close to this? Hoping they speed up...really thought I'd be in by October but now it's looking like even next year maybe.....

As long as you don't stay beyond your authorized stay period, there would be no issues for your CR1 visa even if you stay 5 months and 25 days on a 6 month stay period.
