srikathera Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 My son has been living here in this country since March, 2010. He did his Middle school, High school and also finished 2 years of his college here. He turns 21 in August of 2019. He had been to India last week to have his F1 visa stamped, and unfortunately, he was denied his F1 Visa (214 b). Luckily, he can return back and pursue his studies till he turns 21. I am looking at what can be done to secure his F1 visa, while he is in the US. The current processing time for F1 visa at Vermont Service Center is 11 to 15 months and that runs past the date when he turns 21. Can he stay here till he gets a decision and, can he continue to study while waiting for the decision? To add to our owes, our younger son is completely blind and he experiences absence seizures and has several brain related issues and lots of behavioral problems. My sons are so attached to each other and we can't imagine them living in two different countries. We don't wish our family is separated this way. And, we also need our older to stay with us here to take of his younger brother. Can someone please guide us? Regards, Sridhar Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 You should discuss your options with a lawyer. Maybe give the firm of Murthy a call. Link to comment
srikathera Posted December 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thank you, Mr. Pontevecchio. The option you suggested in the first thing on my list. Link to comment
srikathera Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I came in on a H1 and my family on H4. Link to comment
srikathera Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Odd indeed. It was our misfortune really. How could my son establish strong ties overseas, when all of our family is here in the US? Our Green card processing keeps taking forever, kids age out, their F1 visa gets rejected, resulting in family separation. I am completely confused at this whole process. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 He should be able to get it at the next try. Which college is he attending? Is CSPA anywhere in the picture as you seem to be awaiting the GC? Link to comment
srikathera Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 My priority date is Jul of 2011. Yes, CSPA is in the picture, but then, he will turn 21 way before we can even consider it. We will take all the legal help we can avail and hope for the best. Thank you, Sir. Link to comment
