I am being sponsored by a family for a work permit and a green card. I take care of their autistic child. I have the work authorization from the US Labor Dept based on which I applied for an immigrant visa. I came here on a J1 with no requirement to leave after w years - which I changed to F1 which says duration of status but no date of departure is noted on it. I am afraid to leave so as NOT to trigger the 10 year ban. What can I do? Thanks for your help.
If you are not attending school you are out of status. That does not mean you have been accruing unlawful presence. Talk to your lawyer who is handling teh case for your employing family for your immigration.
