逾期逗留之后只能回母國重新申請簽證
掃一掃,隨時看
不管我們去哪個國家都是需要辦理簽證的。在把你簽證期間肯定會有很多的問題。最后有一位網友說:「我的 H1B 和小孩的 H4 延期于今年六月初寄出(有效期到今年9/30)。H1B 因為 Premium Process 已經批準,但小孩的 H4 還在 Pending。因為他暑假有 Camp 計劃,沒有辦法回國重新申請簽證,但是今年底我們有去英國的旅行計劃,根據網上現在的 Form I-539 處理時間(到 Feb 2017),預計到時他的 H4 延期還會是 Pending 狀態。我的問題是如果今年11月帶他去加拿大申請 H4 簽證,會不會有被拒的風險?是不是必須得回中國重新辦理簽證?從9/30到11月份我們離境這段時間他會是屬于 Overstay 嗎?」
根據這位讀者的描述,若他孩子的 H4 延期申請在9月30日 I-94 過期之后仍然未批復,此時離境延期申請會視為自動放棄,若 USCIS 拒絕他小孩的延期申請,9月30日之后即為逾期逗留(overstay)。逾期逗留不但簽證自動失效,而且通常情況下必須回母國重新申請簽證、不能去第三國申請,依據是 INA 222(g):
(1) In the case of an alien who has been admitted on the basis of a nonimmigrant visa and remained in the United States beyond the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General, such visa shall be void beginning after the conclusion of such period of stay.
(2) An alien described in paragraph (1) shall be ineligible to be readmitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant, except-
(A) on the basis of a visa (other than the visa described in paragraph (1))* issued in a consular office located in the country of the alien's nationality (or, if there is no office in such country, in such other consular office as the Secretary of State shall specify); or
(B) where extraordinary circumstances are found by the Secretary of State to exist.
* 注:這個地方 USCIS 網頁缺一個 closing parentheses,是我添加的。
22 CFR 41.101 - Place of application (b) 也明確說道:
Place of application for persons subject to INA 222(g). Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, an alien whose prior nonimmigrant visa has been voided pursuant to INA 222(g), who is applying for a new nonimmigrant visa, shall make application at a consular office which has jurisdiction in or for the country of the alien's nationalityunless extraordinary circumstances have been determined to exist with respect to that alien as set forth in paragraph (c) of this section.
當然,上述條款有例外情形,但是對于大部分人來說不適用:
(c) Exceptions based on extraordinary circumstances.
(1) An alien physician serving in underserved areas of the United States under the provisions of INA 214(l) for whom an application for a waiver of the 2-year foreign residence requirement and/or a petition to accord H-1B status was filed prior to the end of the alien's authorized period of stay and was subsequently approved, but whose authorized stay expired during the adjudication of such application(s), shall make application in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.
(2) Any other individual or group whose circumstances are determined to be extraordinary, in accordance with paragraph (d)(1) of this section, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Visa Services upon the favorable recommendation of an immigration or consular officer, shall make application in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.
(3) An alien who has, or immediately prior to the alien's last entry into the United States had, a residence in a country other than the country of the alien's nationality shall apply at a consular office with jurisdiction in or for the country of residence.
(4) An alien who is a national and resident of a country in which there is no United States consular office shall apply at a consular office designated by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Visa Services to accept immigrant visa applications from persons of that nationality.
(5) An alien who possesses more than one nationality and who has, or immediately prior to the alien's last entry into the United States had, a residence in one of the countries of the alien's nationality shall apply at a consular office in the country of such residence.
