How is an Alien’s Nonimmigrant Status in the United States Affected if he or she is Grandfathered?
An alien’s nonimmigrant status in the United States is not affected by the fact that he or she is grandfathered. The petition that serves to grandfather the alien neither extends an alien’s nonimmigrant status nor authorizes employment in the United States. The immigrant visa petition or application for labor certification that serves to grandfather the alien does not serve to stay any order of removal, deportation, or exclusion.
