Re: I-140

Your matter is complex and you should get an attorney. If you are located in Orange, San Diego or Imperial Counties, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.

Re: I-140

If you're here on a tourist visa, merely having an approved I-140 (without priority number current) does not give you anymore right than another tourist here. The term on the B-1/B-2 is six months initially and usually one can extend the stay for another six months at most. If you've already extended, you can't extend again but must switch to anther type of nonimmigrant visa, if you're eligible.

That's very unlikely to be renewed due to the circumstances.

Re: I-140

Of course, if you are presently here under a B-2 (non-immigrant) visa, the burden when filing your extension will be on you to show that you intend to return home (after your temporary stay).

Please call or email me; I'll be more than happy to speak with you about this.
