He obtained a WDL in September. The student has an I-94 departure record, with an admit date of June 16, 1997. A date of December 15, 1997 is also stamped on the form which states on the reverse side that "you are authorized to stay in the U.S. only until the date written on this form." Does this grant him "temporary" resident status for only 6 months? Should he have applied for some kind of permanent status after December? To add to the confusion, the student states on his residency questionnaire that he was in Sweden from 12/3/97 to 5/20/98, with a reason of "my wife and I went to Sweden for Christmas and in order to get back to the U.S. I had to reapply for residence again before entering the U.S." Where do I go from here? P.S. Joe St. Hilaire: If you're "listening," the student also states he attended WWU Summer Quarter 1998. -- Janelle Miner, Registrar Whatcom Community College jmine@ctc.ctc.edu or (360)676-2170 .
