kotha thread Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 [quote name='Nissan' timestamp='1358958994' post='1303158742'] ee q&a chaduvu.....there used to be a rule called automatic visa revalidation......(the same thing which ur requesting in the petition)...but they cancelled it after 9 11 ......read the lines in red.... [b] What is an Automatic Visa Revalidation? [/b] Automatic visa revalidation (“AVR”) refers to a process allowing temporary visitors to the U.S. who hold an expired nonimmigrant visa to re-enter the U.S. without having to obtain a new visa. It applies in situations where the nonimmigrant status is valid but the visa has expired. Revalidation allows the visa holder to travel outside the U.S. for a short period of time, usually up to 30 days. This minimizes the risk that they will not be able to re-enter the country upon their return. Automatic visa revalidation is not the same as obtaining a [url="http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/nonimmigrant-visa-extension-lawyers.html"]visa extension[/url] or filing for a new visa. If the person has filed for a new visa, they will not be eligible for AVR. Nonimmigrants may apply for visa revalidation at the U.S. Consulate where the original visa was obtained, or alternatively through the State Department. Visa Revalidation can be a favorable option for persons with [url="http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/nonimmigrant-status-lawyers.html"]nonimmigrant status[/url]. It allows the person to re-enter the U.S. without having to go through the reapplication process, which can be time-consuming. Also, revalidation is relatively inexpensive compared to other options (such as traveling to the home country in order to apply for a new visa). [b] Who is Eligible for Automatic Visa Revalidation?[/b] Automatic visa revalidation is only reserved for certain classes of visa holders. To be eligible for automatic visa revalidation, the following requirements must be met:[list] [*]The nonimmigrant visa holder has a valid, unexpired Form I-94: Arrival-Departure Record. The form must be endorsed by the Department of Homeland Security [*]Nonimmigrant status is valid (even if visa has expired) [*]A valid passport [*]For F and J nonimmigrant classifications, the travel outside of the U.S. must be for thirty days or less, and is limited to the countries of Mexico, Canada, or an adjacent island [/list] [size=6][color=#ff0000]Previously, revalidation was allowed for the visa classifications E, H, I, L, O, and P. However, in response to the 9/11 events, visa revalidation has been discontinued for these classes. New procedures effectively restrict AVR to situations wherein the person is traveling to Mexico or Canada for 30 days and is not seeking a new visa. [/color][/size] [/quote] Worthy...
