B1 Visa about to expire - AOS application mailed! What to do?

[madala 32]

Hi,

I am looking for some insight in this case: I mailed my adjustment of status application (with working permit, travel doc...) at the end of Feb. I still haven't received anything, even though I have this weird feeling that they will return it because of the recent form changes. In all this, my B1 visa of six month will expire on April 8th. Now with the virus, my chance is even lower now at this point. If I don't receive a notice by then, I think my status will become Illegal, basically, which could lead to a entry ban in the future, possibly...I sound like Mister Doum, but I am just not sure on what to do because I don't want to be away from my family anymore.

 

What is my best course of action in this case?

If you AOSed then that B1 is probably cancelled anyway.   What bases are you adjusting from?   If marriage, then did you include the I-130/I-130A.   Did you include a G-1145 for electronic notification?

Same as last time you posted the question.  You are adjusting status based on marriage to a US citizen, correct?  Why would you have to be away from your family?  At this point, the virus doesn't affect anything related to your Adjustment of status case.  You have to be patient and wait.

 

Once you file a proper I-485, you will be granted authorized stay.

If you're already file AOS, don't worry about your B1 Visa anymore. You're legal to stay in US right now

During these times it is not unusually to experience delays. Most of the time our personal expectations are not always the outcome from USCIS. Patience. Took us 14 months to get our approval back when.

 

If on the date you submitted your AOS package if the dates were current then you have nothing to worry about.

 

The B-1 is DEAD by way of you entering the US on a K-1 visa.

 

Once you submit your AOS you are not out of status pending the outcome of your submission. So no need to worry. 

 

"What is my best course of action in this case?" Do nothing but sit tight. Your progressing like millions of others who have gone before you.

It's based of marriage to a US citizen (been married for a while). Yes, I did send the I-130, I-485, etc...My issue is that they haven't sent me any notification, even though they received the package since Feb 24th.

I think the B1 is valid since my application is not found in their system yet.

Maybe I am overthinking all this. Thanks
