Yeah, that is what i was thinking, it is not a smart move to abuse of the visa at this moment. Thank you for the advice. To be honest, my bf is going to that internship and i wanted to apply too, he is going April next year and we don t want to be away one from other again.

November 2015 OK, got it.Thank you! Priority date is Nov 2015.

honestly, no, i don't, that is another question i would like to ask, i received 4 months ago a letter saying that all paperwork was accepted and correct and that i have to wait for the appointment, how long will that take?

You are COMPLETLY RIGHT right... just take into account that things such: -interviewing employees FOR YOUR OVERSEAS COMPANY (like me) is ALLOWED -attending a meeting IS ALLOWED - attending conference or other business event IS ALLOWED, and if it is business related it is 90% it is related TO YOUR WORK/JOB - presenting products at a trade show or expo like i have done before in Sun n Fun event IS ALLOWED - lecturing at an event like a did two years ago IS ALLOWED if those subtle and slightly 🤣 job related things are ALLOWED...🙄 how a simple job related call or email answer could be a deadly federal super illegal crime...

and also double thanks because everytime i enter to the US and the CBP ask me what do i do for living i proudly said, i work form my computer 🤣. My God, two travels ago they even asked me how long are my vacations and i annswered: "i own the business, but i am staying 15 days only" 🤦‍♀️ i would have to change that or not to mention that obviously happy lol

i know i know, thank you for reasoning that way, i think the same. i am just trying to find a way to get into that internship, because honestly i don't want to wait one or two years until i get my GreenCard to apply for that program, i was just trying to find a way.

well, thank you a lot for thr information. the rule for stay safe while on vacations on US is to dont even think to touch anything job related, not even reply a single job related emauil, neither texting my colleagues lol oh God! This is crazy, how many emails i have asked to my colleagues and employees to reply me when they are visiting US.. and friends too....

10 months for me is ok to re enter There is something wrong here, because, then,. if i go with a family trip to Disney for ten days and my company needs me and i have to do some emails some purchases, write couple of letters and couple of zoom meetings... i mean, this is a very common scenario that i have seen LOT of times in hotels in family vacation trips, suddenly the wife or husband have to attend the work or the business while on vacation... then... their are violating the law and SHOULD BE REVOKED TOO.. Two years ago i stayed 5 months to help my mother with an issue and my b1/b2 visa expired 10 months ago, the consul asked me if i have stayed in the US longer than 20 days and i said yes, i stayed 5 months, and he asked me why i said because my mother needs me, and the consult asked me how how did i with my job in my country i told him i own a company and i manage it from my computer from anywhere, no more question asked. (i edited again because i remembered, 5 months before my visa expiration ate i stayed 3motnhs and 5 days) what happened here then?

But then, there is a failure here, because every time i go to the states i go with my laptop and i attend to my business from my laptop.. how does that work then? staying LEGALLY for 5 month with my B1 B2 visa

Hello, i was not sure where to post these questions, if the family based forum or student exchange one. I came here because a friend told me very good about this forum, I know I have to complete the profile, but I hope you forgive me, I'm going to do it later, since I'll still be here for a long time. I am currently waiting for my priority date I am applying for the F24 visa and my priority is F2B. I don't know if that information is useful to you. i currently have a tourist visa (B1/B2). I work online and have my virtual company so i have lot of flexibility to work from anywhere. And here are my two questions: 1- Can i stay i the United States until I get notified for my interview? (since B1/B2 Visa can let you legally stay for only 6 months, (i would stay in 5 months intervals just to keep it healthy) would that affect my process? 2- I am interested in an internship for my career, it is a very good program for my area and all my friends who have applied have been accepted. I never applied because i was afraid it could interfere with my immigration process. But i am still interested. The program would request a J1 i think, if i apply, and they file for a j1 request for me, Would that affect my immigration process? would that affect my B1/B2 visa?, would the J1 be denied? Thank you a lot in advance guys!
