Can I convert my tourist visa to a working visa while I am in the Ontario, Canada?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
I think that the best advice I could give you would be to schedule a consultation with an attorney. While a petition to obtain certain categories of non-immigrant visas can be started while the beneficiary of the visa application is outside of the US, one cannot "convert" one category to another if not physically present in the US. I would suggest that the best approach is to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable attorney and see if you are indeed qualified to obtain some type of non-immigrant visa which would permit you to obtain work in the US.

Can I withdraw an I539 application after a decision had been made?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Once a decision has been made, writing a letter to USCIS would generally not be effective. If you really wish to pursue it, you could file for a motion to reopen the decision on form I-290B with filing fee of $675. Otherwise, you could just let the decision stand. Since you had already left the US during the pendency of the B-2 extension and assumedly filed for the B-2 extension while you were in status, the USCIS denial should not adversely affect your future travels to the US.

Is this possible that my priority date becomes current and I still have no correspondence from USCIS?

They are becoming current fast, and no, they don't notify you to tell you that they're current. When the quota number becomes current, if you are otherwise eligible, you can file for adjustment of status (I-485).
