Not sure what you mean by one validity date before which you can
still use it.
It does have a date by which it expires. The examiner at the POE did
apparently what examiners at JFK have to done to others, Peter Newton
included. Wrote in an expiry date for after the expiration of the
A/P itself and this is the date the woman went by instead of the date
on the A/P.
As for sibsie's comment about affluent area, he owns his own technology
business which employs 20 people and she works as a surgerical assistant
in a vet hospital in Connecticut. They live in an area where the
average price of a small cottage (2 bedroom) is over $500,000. These
are educated people and she has been living in the US for at least 10
years, apparently with appropriate visas to attend school (the same
college I graduated from) and to work prior to marriage to a US citizen.
These factors make it hard for me to believe that someone with their
advantages did not seek immigration attorney assistance in obtaining her
AOS. Even if they did not, there is no excuse why they did not read the
paperwork sent to them by the USCIS and know that A/P is only valid
until the date written on the A/P itself. I'm sorry if anyone feels
that I find this story a distrubing one for reasons other than her
removal and health conditions. I truly believe if it were not for the
fact that the newspaper published her plight last month, Ms. Clinton and
Mr. Schumer would never have become involved. I honestly believe it is
was only because of the impeding press coverage that either of them
bothered to lift a voice on her behalf. How many New Yorkers among us
have asked both these senators for assistance just to find out status
and have not had the couresty of a reply. Fortunately, Ms. Lowey's
office was the one that intervened on my husband's behalf. She has
always been a congressional representative who has given a damn about
her constituents.
But regardless it is very unfortunate that her health condition was
discovered after her removal at the US POE. She is now, I understand,
in possession of or will be in possession soon of a tourist visa for
entry up to six months. If she is not again denied at the POE, here's
hoping that she receives good medical care and can beat the disease.
