Understood, and that's helpful, thanks. Please don't hesitate to follow up with us later this month or early next, and we'll see what we can learn on our end.

Those are good questions, and to some degree they are not easily answered. Regarding whether you can obtain/renew another work visa, it may depend a lot on the resolution of the case. You will have to meet certain work criteria when she reapplies. Based on MediLink work history, business success, and skills, that may end up not being a problem, but as well as the current pandemic) makes this more uncertain. This uncertainty is a key reason for her exploring the job.

Regarding the second question of when would she know whether a renewed work visa would be approved, it's not a question of time. To make the application, her understanding is that she must be outside the U.S. and it's possible that she could apply and find out in the same day. If she's denied, however, then she may not be able to get back into the U.S. to continue her life here or to continue assisting with the investigation while here (unless the Government assisted her in re-entering).

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks,



Thanks for getting in touch and for letting us know well in advance. Let us discuss internally, and if we haven't gotten back to you in a few weeks, please feel free to follow up. In the interim, is there a possibility of Ms. obtaining / renewing another work visa? And if so, do you know what the timeline of that would be – i.e., when she would know whether such a visa would be approved? I'm not well-versed in this area of law so I'm not sure I'm asking exactly the right questions, and happy to discuss further if that's helpful.
