我家小孩(6岁)是H4 签证,签证上面显示在美停留的有效期是 2/1/2018 --- 1/31/2021,小孩在2018年的6-8月回了一趟国,2018年8月返美的时候由于其护照在2019年6月10号过期(孩子已经换了新的护照),美国海关所给的在美有效停留时间到2019年6月10号(I-94 Admit until date: 06/10/2019 )。由于近期要给孩子延H4,才发现这一情况。请问八老师上面情况是否影响孩子在美合法停留?是否影响延H4? 谢谢您!
-Your child ahs been unlawful present in US since 06/10/2019, more than one year. He/she cannot extend the H4 status or change status in US. Your kid needs to leave US to get the H4 visa to reenter US to have the legal status at your convenience. Fortunately, your kid is less than 18 years old, so he/she will not be subjected to 10-year bar.
