Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hi there, I�m here in US with B2 visa and 2 months before expiration date I filled application to change status to R1 visa. Since then 4 months pass and I still have no answer from USCIS (acctualy, my status on their website is �Initial Review�). How long I should wait for their decision? My driver licence is expired 2 months ago and I can�t renew it till I have new status.

Thank you,

Sergey,

San Diego,CA

You could check the processing time at www.uscis.gov. If your case is outside normal processing time, you can make an inquiry with USCIS.

As of July 2009, the government resumed R-1 premium processing which provides response in 15 calendar days for an extra $1,000 paid to the government.

The above is general information and not legal advice. It doesn't form an attorney client relationship. For further information, you may contact [email protected] or 818 609 1953. See our website at http://www.yardum-hunter.com.
