Hi... I am here in Florida on an E2 change of status... dont have the E2 visa stamped in my UK passport and my father is seriously ill and I need to get back to the UK to see him before he dies

I understand I am landlocked... is there any way I can get permission to return to the uk without losing my current status??


... I have an appointment with the immigration in orlando next week and will have a letter from his cancer specialist

PLEASE HELP

THANK YOU

no. you must apply for the E visa after you leave the US. Check your home consulate as it may be a long wait for an E visa interview. What appointment do you have with USCIS Orlando?

I have an appointment to discuss the problem with an officer - I contacted the immigration department and was told to make an appointment and take my paperwork and the letter in and they MAY issue a travel permit.

There is no such travel permit that the USCIS can approve and issue to a nonimmigrant. It is under the jurisdiction of the US Department of State (DOS). Likely they will tell you to apply for the E visa at your home consulate when you leave the US.

Good luck, I am praying for your father and you.
