H-4 Visa

We filed a case against the USCIS where the H-1B visa holder attempted to maintain legal status for both him and his H-4 dependents.  The attorney at the time filed the application for the H-1 extension, but neglected to submit applications for the extension of the H-4 dependents status.  We submitted a request to USCIS for the extensions of the H-4 dependents' status with a detailed legal brief. USCIS granted the request for extension and the I-94's were attached to the approval notices. 

We filed a case with USCIS where the H-4 dependents of the H-1 visa holder were out of status since 2000.  They believed that they were in legal status as long as the H-1 visa holder maintained status in the US.  We filed a request for an extension of their H-4 status accompanied by a brief in support of the application.  USCIS granted the extension of stay and issued approval notices with the I-94's attached.

We filed a case on behalf of our client against USCIS where the H-4 dependents' application for a change status was denied by USCIS because the application was not filed in a timely manner.  The dependents were Citizens of Canada who wanted to transfer from TN status to H-4 status.  Due to circumstances beyond their control they were found by USCIS to have lost their lawful status in the U.S.  We filed a Motion for Reconsideration with USCIS.  USCIS approved the application and the applicants were granted H-4 status retroactively.
