When an application for change of visa status is denied, U.S.C.I.S. generally wants the individual to leave within 30 days. If you remain in the US for 180 days after receiving the notice, you would be barred from returning for three years. If you remain for one year or more, you would be barred for 10 years if you attempt to return to the States.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
