I applied for a change of status from B-2 to H-4 right before my I-94 expired. It has now almost been 180 days, but my application is still pending. Do I need to leave before I reach the 180-day mark?

Answer

Normally, one who has timely filed a change-of-status application is in a “period of authorized stay” until a decision is issued, regardless of how long it takes. (17.Jul.2017)
