My mother in law has Pancreatitis and is in and out of ICU.

 

We at the case where we are approved since June and the NVC haven’t received the I-130 as yet. 

 

My lawyer applied a temporary visa for me so I can take my daughter to meet her grandmother for the first time, this is my mother in law only grandchild and she want to meet her grand daughter.

 

Thursday I had my interview for a temporary visa.

 

The Guy asked why do I want a temporary visa and I said why.

 

and I was told I over stayed 8 months from October 2013- June 2013. I ask where? The guy said look in your passport, he realized he have it and went through my passport and still couldn’t show me where I overstayed.

 

I was working at the time also I look in my passport after I left because I know I never over stayed my time.  They maybe don’t want give it to me because he think I will not return home since he saw where my case is being processing.

 

 

Last time when I sent for my B2 Visa last year they said because my case is processing I have to wait for that to be completed.

 

My passport didn’t show I overstayed and I don’t know why he have to make up some kind story like that to try make me feel like I over stayed. 

 

Said I can’t get the temporary visa cuz I over stayed 8 months when it only allow up to 6 months.

 

If I know their rules only allowed up to 6 months when why will I over stayed more then 6 months. 

 

All I know is I never overstayed my time and that it.

 

 

some people at the Embassy’s are careless and don’t have a heart.

I'm not sure why he checked your passport for an overstay...the US doesn't issue passport stamps (or have any immigration counters) when you exit the US.

Check your I-94: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/

 

Either way, I'm sorry to hear about your story but their decision is what it is. Best wishes to both of you.

Is this with the US or another country? The US has no exit counters. Or maybe you are referring to the entry stamp (which has an I-94 stamp stating when you must exit by, but nothing about when you actually left)?

I have seen other people have trouble pulling up their I-94, but if the travel was fairly recent (since 2013 or later?), it generally pops up. Odd.
