I- 539 , Application To Extend Change Nonimmigrant Status: Fill & Download for Free

The short answer is a big NO.The K-1 non immigrant visa is issued at an American Embassy (not in the US) after an I-129F is filed and approved. ONLY American citizens can file an I-129F. If you hold a G-4 nonimmigrant visa, Obviously you are not an American citizen, ergo you cannot file the Petition for Alien Fiancée.If your fiancée is in the US after a lawful entry and still in lawful status, then narry her and afterwards she must file Form I-539 , Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant status.if your fiancée is outside the US, you can go wherever she is and marry her. Next step is to apply for her for a G-4 nonimmigrant visa as your dependent.I would recommend not to let her apply for a B visa, as someone has suggested, if her sole intention to come to the US is to marry you and later change status. If she gets the B visa, at the port of entry in the US she will be asked: “Why are you coming to the US?” and when she responds with the true “to get marry and change status” (unless she willfully lies to the CBP officer, which will be a future immigration problem) she will be denied entry and send back to the country she came from. I have done it.I remember a case when a Singaporean citizen came with a B-1 visa, temporary business visa, to work for his company and change status to L-1 visa. I denied him admission, and on the same day, I sent him back to Singapore. About a couple of months later, while working on the primary line, the guy in front of me said to me: “I have the right visa now” and in response to my puzzled face, he said to me: “Don’t you remember you sent me back to Singapore to get this visa?”. What a coincidence!My advice: Do it the right way.

That is a good question and has not been specifically addressed in any of the COVID-19 emergency laws, except that if you are a tax payer regardless of citizenship but lawfully present with a social security number you may receive the tax rebate stimulus check of up to $1200 per person, $500 per Child as filed in 2018 or 2019 tax returns as long as you receiving remuneration below the limits, the first limit is $75,000 for a single person to get 100% of this stimulus rebate.Please note that I am not an Immigration Attorney in the USA although have some knowledge and experience of navigating the US Immigration system personally and to assist with others There are many paths one could follow, but always I have had essentially the advice of a licensed attorney to support and present applications.Your case may be somewhat unique to the general rules that I outline. None of the following legal advice, as essentially at the end of your visa a non-immigrant should have left or be on their way to leave, with up to 60 days after employment may have been terminated for H1-B holders.Premium Processing and walk-in immigration office services have been suspended, but not mail-in or online services.It is not known if there are any processing such as at least getting an official receipt of any application forms are going out currently.So lets go down by type of visa :B1 or B2: A visitors visa for business or leisure/tourism/personal purposes has an expiration that was stamped and marked on the I-94, and there is no ‘flexibility’ to avoid being penalized for not leaving on or before that date. So you must file an extension to stay, the fact that you file (keep records, copies and proof of mailing and receipt) B-1 and B-2 nonimmigrants should timely submit I-539, Application To Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (links to: I-539, Application To Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status) , which can be filed online at that link, and request the six-month maximum period of authorized extension allowed. They should also docket and reapply by filing successive "bridge" applications before the six-month period of requested status would expire, even if USCIS has not yet acted on any pending I-539 extension requests, in order to avoid unlawful-presence penalties under current USCIS policy (links to: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/Static_Files_Memoranda/2009/revision_redesign_AFM.PDF). Also, there is a possibility that filing 30 days for ‘ Humanitarian Parole‘ or ‘Parole in Place’ status may be a route that at least puts a marker in that you state you would return to your country of origin or residence but for the fact that there are no flights or inbound passengers allowed to that country temporarily, or that you are currently COVID-19 positive and to travel or remove yourself from self-isolation would be a greater risk to the community. The details of this Parole approach follows at the end.This is also applicable to these classes of visa :A-3 – Attendants, Servants, Personal Employees of Diplomatic and Other Government Officials and Immediate FamilyE – Treaty Traders and Investors DependentsG-5 – Attendants, Servants, Personal Employees of Foreign Government Officials and Immediate FamilyH-4 – Temporary Worker DependentsK-3 and K-4 – Spouse of U.S. Citizen and Minor Child Accompanying/ Following to JoinL-2 – Intracompany Transferee DependentsM – Vocational Students and DependentsN – Parents and Children of Certain People Who Have Been Granted Special Immigrant StatusNATO-7 – Attendants, Servants, Personal Employees of NATO Representatives, Officials, Employees and Immediate Family MembersO-3 – Aliens With Extraordinary Ability DependentsP-4 – Athletes and Entertainer DependentsR-2 – Religious Worker DependentsAll “V” categories (Certain Second-Preference Beneficiaries)TD – TN DependentsEmployment-based visas- Extensions are filed on form i-129, Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (links to: Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker)E-1 or E-2 – International Traders and InvestorsH-1B, H-2A, H-2B or H-3 – Temporary WorkersL1A or L1B – Intracompany TransfereesO-1 or O-2 – Aliens of Extraordinary AbilityP-1, P-2 or P-3 – Entertainers and AthletesQ-1 – Visitors for International Cultural ExchangeR-1 – Religious WorkersTN -1 or TN-2 – Canadians and Mexicans Under NAFTAThis link has a lot of good discussion points and action items for employers: Essential COVID-19 Immigration Planning For US Employers - Immigration - United States (links to: Essential COVID-19 Immigration Planning For US Employers - Immigration - United States are more complex situations for F-1 and J-1 holders, and this may, in the case of F-1 where classes are cancelled, allow these to file for permission to work off - campus, and J-1 cases are at the mercy of their colleges and schools, but could also file the Humanitarian Parole if they want to try to keep in good standing as they cannot travel or comply with loss of immigration status http://consequences.To apply for Humanitarian Parole, or parole-in-place, you should submit:A completed Form G-325A, Biographic Information (for Deferred Action) (links to: G-325A, Biographic Information (for Deferred Action)), Biographic Information;3 passport-style photos (2” x 2” front view);A copy of your UNEXPIRED entry permit;A copy of the photo page of your valid passport; andA statement from your employer, business or trade group that you were visiting, tourism agency or family member you are visiting, or school or college indicating that you will have continued employment, training, living expenses, repatriation when possible/allowed, or evidence of your continued investor status and current attempts and situation regarding return travel to your normal country of residence. If ‘Expired’ then some indication of attempts to travel or local restrictions that you are following to prevent your movements, or a Medical Certificate or Test result showing COVID-19 infection or related medical issue.Basically, you are just asking for permission to stay until it is possible to leave, so that you would not be considered as an overstayer. This has not been tested as far as I have got from the newsletters and blogs of the immigration lawyers I am following and used to research this.Thank you for the A2A, Sohail,Update April 8 2020.There are many paths one could follow, but essentially the Visa when it expires should be by the time you exit or leave the USA, if not before, otherwise you will be disqualified from any other immigration benefit or non-immigrant temporary stay.If you are an H1-B holder and you are furloughed or terminated, the employer must file this notification of any change, or even if you are kept on reduced hours or pay, that is a change to file. Also, you should not be living too far away from the place of employment, as that is also a change. The employer is also obliged to pay for a flight back to your country of nationality, but no such award for wife/spouse, Child or Children, or Pet. You can also file for B1 status for another 6 months, which would allow you a little more time to stay to settle your affairs, but without the permission to work anywhere else. You can file to become a student, but that would mean that you had the approval and a place to study, or some studies can be work - related and allow you to still keep a valid H1-B status in pending situation.The American Immigration Lawyers association has on April 3rd 2020, in addition to the March 23 letter to the USCIS leadership, filed a lawsuit to suspend all immigration benefit deadlines for non-immigrant visa holders in the USA during the COVID-19 state of emergency.
