Gopal Kamat Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am a US citizen. My parents are here visiting on a B2 visa.Last month (Apr-2021), I applied for their I-130 petition online, got the online receipt (I-797) and then attached that to I-485 application bundle for concurrent filing that I mailed in.It's been four weeks since all of that, and neither my checks have been cashed nor have they sent out a receipt for the I-485.My parents' I-94 6-month duration expires in July 2021.1. I've learned that if i receive a I-797 for their adjustment of status, my parents should be able to stay in the USA even after their I94 expires until their case gets decided (approved or rejected). Correct?2. What happens if my checks aren't cashed yet and I haven't received any I797s yet from USCIS, and their I94 is about to expire? Do they have to return back to their country or can they continue staying? Do I have to file for an extension of stay?Please share your insights. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
seth2000 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hello : I'm in same situation as you. I received I-797 for the I-130, my checks were cashed in for both I-130 and I-485 but I have not received another I-797 for I-485. Attorneys said I don't need to file for B-2 extension. Please do reply if you see this msg so that we can keep in touch. Quote Link to comment
