Hello All,

I need some advice about what I should do. I am 29 yrs old unmarried male from Lybia. Below is a timeline for my journey.

Summer 2005: First time in USA to visit father. Returned back home at end of summer

Summer 2006: second time in USA, Changed vistor visa to student visa. Enrolled in community college.

Nov 2008: US citizen father petetioned a greencard for me

Fall 2009: Joined engineering school

June 2013: Graduated from school

June 2014: OPT expires

Whole family (Dad, mum, younger brother) have US citizens.

I do not know what to do if I do not get my greencard before my OPT expires.

Please advice as I do not want to leave the USA after my OPT is expired. My whole family got murdered in the Libyan civil war. I have nothing to do with libya anymore. Thank you.

I thnk you need to go back to your country and wait for your visa availability because if you stay here in an expired visa, it will cause you trouble for your petition

You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney; Libya is currently not designated as a TPS country, so that's not available as an option.

Under normal circumstances, if your green card hasn't been approved by the time your period of authorised stay in the US expires, you would have to leave and await your priority date becoming current abroad.

Some folk in your exact situation decide to stay in school, pursue another degree...

Since when was your father a citizen? Was he a citizen BEFORE YOU were born?

Too bad. If he became a citizen before you turned 18 you would have had more options. I agree with the other posters, find an immigration attorney and figure out what the best option is for you.
