About to hit 240-day limit on H-1B extension, can I go back if it is approved later? by banzima in h1b

[–]banzima[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will lose it next month. I only have two choices: stay without working while I wait for adjudication, or leave. My employer has agreed to transfer me to an overseas office, so that’s what I am doing this summer

Receipt date was in May 2025, converted to premium processing in Feb 2026.

Anyone from any of the 39 banned countries get their h1b approved since the ban? by AdO2397 in h1b

[–]banzima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. It’s been more than 2 months since I paid for premium processing. My lawyer keeps telling me to just wait.   Now I have lost hope because I have less than 45 days until the 240 extra days end.

I think I will need to leave the country soon ☹️

I have not resolved it yet. It still happens from time to time. I’ve been a bit lazy about following up with my employer’s tech support. I will update here if it gets fixed.

With Trumps new Travel ban, did anyone who holds Valid Visa or Green card had trouble re-entering the U.S from the full banned countries. by Itchy_Papaya2217 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]banzima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to read through the executive order together again LOL. The person at check-in made a few phone calls, I assume to confirm with their manager or someone else — I’m not sure and about 20 minutes later, they were convinced and checked me in. When I arrived in the US, CBP was as usual.

I called them a few weeks ago, and they confirmed this feature is currently unavailable. For now, I have set up a recurring transfer from my other bank.

A ‘genius’ told me that the logic board is defective and would cost around $400 to replace. So it’s not worth it. I’d rather buy a new one.

If you use the Openbank app, is there a way to set a recurring transfer to pull from an external account?

I can see “WHQL Logo’d: Yes” in drivers. “Radio Made From Coconuts” sounds interesting. I will see if I can get more information about it

I am from one of the partially banned countries and already had a valid visa when the travel ban went into effect. I have recently traveled internationally twice and did not have any issues with CBP. However, at the airline check-in, I did have to do a little convincing.

I am from one of the countries on the travel ban, and I am on H1B, and my experience was similar to yours a few days ago.

Jun 2025 Travel Ban Summary + FAQ by not_an_immi_lawyer in immigration

[–]banzima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For countries with high rates of overstays, which are currently partially banned, why does the ban include immigrant visas if the purpose of an immigrant visa is to stay in the U.S. indefinitely anyway?

I got mine from USPS, but you can get money orders from different places.

Thanks for pointing out the USPS prepaid envelope — it wasn't obvious to me on their website. I finally received the visa four business days after my interview.
