kishore kakarla Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Hi, Here is my situation. H1B maxout - 24 May 2020 and 20 June 2020 including recapturing time I94 expiry - 01 Sep 2020(This might be a mistake from USCIS, giving 3 months of 1-94 beyond 6 years) PERM applied as of - 03 Sep 2019 PERM Status - Audit (as of 03/31/2020) Now my attorney suggested to leave country before 20 June or change of status after 20 June. I am planning to leave country in May but I have a son who is USC and Indian gov is not giving any visas until now. My question is, can I create a service request to USCIS to extend my stay because my USC son is not getting visa from India and I have valid I-94 till Sep 2020 ?

pontevecchio Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Apply for a COS to B2 in end May. It is always a good idea to explain what you did here to your Lawyer. Quote Link to comment
Mav777 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yes, applying for a COS to B2 is a safe alternative to maintain valid status. You will ofcourse have to stop working by the max out date. The COS application will take 5-6 months to process, by then you will have reached your 365 days pending PeRm in sep 2020, and can apply for a 1-year h1b extension based On pending perm Quote Link to comment
