01 / VISA & STATUS

A valid visa does not determine how long you can stay

A visa lets you travel to request entry. Check I-94 or the relevant notice for the authorized stay. Some statuses show D/S. Visa expiration does not determine the end of an authorized stay.

02 / GREEN CARD

Two-year and ten-year green cards are different

I-90 renewal or replacement differs from removing conditions with I-751 or I-829. Joint I-751 petitions generally have a 90-day window before the second anniversary. Waiver filings have different conditions.

03 / THAI → ENGLISH

Translate the language, preserve the facts

Thai source text is kept beside English drafts. Names must match documents. Buddhist and Gregorian calendar dates must be distinguished. Unknown answers are not guessed.

AI drafts are not certified translations. Where certification is required, a competent translator must review the full text and certify as required. Medical examinations require an agency-designated physician.

04 / INDIVIDUAL REVIEW

Overstay calls for an individual review

Entry and exit history, method of entry, relationships, petitions, and individual bars matter. Marriage does not automatically fix status. Departing the country may affect re-entry.

A few answers cannot support a recommendation to file I-485, I-601A, or leave the U.S. Have a qualified professional review your history directly.
