One more for those who ever have to deal with this. A DREAM DELAYED IS NOT A DREAM DENIED.
Since my last post I finished my degree in the US and the following has happened...
I was stressed out about how the ban would effect my applications at each these stages.
- F1 OPT issued without issue - Started working for a wonderful company
- Travelled to mexico on f1 and reentered without issue
- Company applied for h1b work visa petition - USCIS approved with no issue.
- Returned to my home company to apply for the work visa stamp to travel - Visa Issued in 1 day without issue.
A DREAM DELAYED IS NOT A DREAM DENIED ✌️
But you never know. So if your ban is over apply again but for a legit reason. If its denied even with the ban being over then move on with your life. Best of Luck. Also i'm a girl not a guy lol.
