US Immigration from Australia

Hi @Greenbaum

I need to ask for your advice as my temporary visa will expire in 4 months. With the turn of events and uncertainty of as to when will I get my interview date, what steps should I do if I don't get my interview date before my visa expires?

I have submitted my Packet 3 response to Sydney Consul last March 18 but due to the cancelling of interview appointments, I haven't received my interview date yet.

I am not sure if you have encountered any applications with the same case as mine, I just want to know what steps or preparation should I do as early as now.

Thank you very much! Keep safe and healthy!

Hi there,

I just received my whole packet back in the mail today after it was rejected (due to an error on my part!) they sent it back to me very differently than how I sent it in, no folders just papers stapled together (forms and evidence etc.). My question is to anyone that had their AOS packet rejected and sent back, when you refiled did you just send everything back in the same way they returned it to you? Or did you have to regroup everything the way you originally sent it and prepare in separate folders? I'm going to try and call the contact office tomorrow but thought I'd ask if anyone here could give me advice.

TIA!

Hi @Greenbaum

I hope you are well.

With what is happening now and not knowing when will visa interviews resume again, I am still preparing for my visa interview.

I just wanted to ask if you know any K1 visa applicants who have only met in person for 2 times and if it became an issue during the visa interview.

Thank you very much.

I am a U.S. citizen and my partner is Australian. We are both in Australia right now and my flight out back to the U.S. is next week. Her flight was 10 days after mine but got cancelled and she got moved to my flight next week. We have a K1 being processed and her VWP is still valid from looking at her ESTA.

We're both wondering how it will go for her at border patrol, especially during these times?

I entered the US a few days ago on my E-3 visa which expires on 03/20/2020. The border officer gave me a admit until date of 03/14/2022 on my I-94.

The LCA which my current visa is tied to is for an employment period of 05/01/2018 to 04/30/2020.

I was going to renew my visa at a consulate overseas but COVID-19 has removed that option, I will likely be filing a I-129 with the USCIS now. My employer has already got another LCA approved for me.

So what date am I authorized to work until? The end of the current LCA? The end of the new LCA? Up until the admit until date on the I-94?

I can't find a straight answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
