Hi! Can my husband travel outside the country while his Non-O marriage visa extension is still being processed?
We’re planning to apply for the 1-year extension in early October, and I know it usually takes a couple of weeks for immigration to approve it. Just wondering if it’s possible for us to travel abroad during that time.
Thanks so much in advance!
