Re: E-3 Visa 2010 Running Thread

Re: VWP Entry and Adjustment of Status: New Decision

I don't believe this case changes the law at all - it is the case in every jurisdiction that a VWP overstay can be removed and has waived the rights to contest the removal. Whether a particular...

Re: J1 or J2?

It actually is possible to get a different status after having J-1 or J-2, even with the HRR. The options are limited, but might be worth exploring. You could, for example, get F-1 status. You...
