Re: Going to the Bahamas with expired J-2 and renewed DS-2019

The trip I was planning is slightly different and isn't to Nassau, otherwise you're right that it would make sense to get the renewal in the Bahamas

Re: Is a leave of absence allowed with an expired EAD?

Thanks Rene for the reply. Last time I called USICS after 75 days of pending application, I got my approval within 12 days. It may be a coincidence, but USCIS advises applicants to notify the service...

Re: B-2 to J2 status change: yay or nay?

So if I understand correctly, once I put my J2 application through and am still on the B2, I will need to remain in the US until I get the J2. If I leave before I get the J2 (for example, to go to...
