Hi everyone,
I recently got my Stage 1 endorsement. I will be applying for Stage 2. I am an Indian citizen living in the USA for the last 5 years. I was on a student visa since the last 5 years which expires in June, 2024.
In USA, proof to stay and work is through a document called I20. I am admitted to an online school now which allows me to continue working in USA for 2 more years. It will show validity from June 2024 to June 2026. But, my visa on the passport will be expired since I can only get it renewed after going back to India (that doesn’t impact my current stay and work eligibility in USA).
My questions are:
- Does the home office accept such above stated residence permit proof or they only accept visa stamp on the passport?
- Would it be better to apply from India? In Stage 1, I listed my correspondence address in USA since I have been here for the last five years.
