Missed to file h4 extension and spent 180+ days in US after i94 expiry

Today, received a passport without any stamp or worksheet.

Hi Ricky,
I’m in a similar situation as yours.
I forgot to apply for the H4 extension due to my limited knowledge of immigration processes. My employer only filed for my H1 extension, which got approved.

As a result, my wife and daughter stayed in the U.S. beyond their authorized stay and left after overstaying by 183 days.

Could you please guide me on how to proceed from here?
Also, do I need to select “Yes” for the “unlawful presence” question on the DS-160 form?

How many months did it take for waiver processing?

Hi @A_khan my dependent is in same situation and waiver is applied by consular officer, could you tell me how long did it take to get the waiver from consulate?

Hi Rick urgent!! What evidence have u provided for not filing on time?

Hi Keerthi what reasons did you mention in the petition

You really need an actual immigration lawyer for this. The 180+ days thing changes the whole situation, and random forum advice won’t cut it.

Waiver pending since April 2nd 2025. Reached congresswomen, Senator, and the response is pending at ARO. Any waiver approvals? And how much time will it take? location Hyderabad consulate
