Include: every entry, exit, status change, extension, change of status filing

**STATUS ANALYSIS**

- Date current status expires
- Total time in lawful status
- Any gaps between statuses (list each with dates and duration)
- Any periods of unlawful presence (list each)

**UNLAWFUL PRESENCE CALCULATION**
- Total days of unlawful presence
- Does the 3-year bar apply (180+ days)?
- Does the 10-year bar apply (365+ days)?

- Date unlawful presence began accruing

**STATUS VIOLATIONS**
- Employment without authorization (dates, employers if known)
- Failure to maintain student status (if F-1)
- Unauthorized employment for J-1 visa holders
- Overstay beyond I-94 expiration

**IMPACT ON CURRENT APPLICATION**

- Is consular processing required instead of adjustment of status?
- Criminal inadmissibility concerns based on status violations
