My I-129 application was denied on Dec 06 2018. But due to Christmas and New year holiday’s my attorney received the notice late (Jan 05 2019). As my H1b had already expired I had to come back immediately. Traveled back on on 10th Jan and reached India on 11th Jan 2019.
I read that the graceful period to stay legally after I-29 rejection is 30 days. In my case I have passed that period.
Will this cause any issue if I get a chance to revisit US?
If yes, is there any thing that I can do?
Thanks a lot Anil for this valuable information. For some reason I am not seeing this question while filling DS160 for H1b now. Is this same case for others that this query no longer exist?
Which question are you talking about? Some questions are deleted daily if they are duplicates. They are usually merged with previous existing similar questions before deleting though.
Thanks a lot for your support.
I was referring to the following question in my previous comment:
“Have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a U.S. visa?”
Though many have reported this question as one in the DS160 even this yearc(2019), I could not find it listed while filling the form online.
A similar question that i came across was “Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?”
Yes Anil. I applied via https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/
The below question did not get displayed for me:
“Have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a U.S. visa?”
