Scott Legal is pleased to announce the approval of a Change of Status application from E-3 to B-2 for an Australian national, which included an extension of stay. The application was filed during the E-3 grace period, a time when USCIS often applies strict scrutiny to bridge-status filings. Despite these challenges, the case was approved without a Request for Evidence, ensuring a smooth transition for our client.
Our team achieved this result by carefully documenting the client’s eligibility for temporary visitor status. We provided strong evidence of ongoing lawful status, a clear explanation of the purpose of the requested stay, and detailed proof of nonimmigrant intent. These elements were critical in demonstrating compliance with USCIS requirements and securing approval without delays.
If you are considering a Change of Status or have questions about maintaining lawful status in the U.S., we can help.
