LMIA and Visitor Visa Question

[pirchcom]

I was asked to ask the question in workers instead of visitors forum.

I am from the Philippines and have been working food counter attendant my 2 year contract will expire Oct 15 2014.
My boss is trying to get LMIA but I don't think it will be processed in time.

I Have applied to extend my stay as a visitor and have a letter of invitation from My Boyfriend.

The problem is What if I don't get Visitor Visa in time .

I applied on Sept 18th and they are only working on Sept 10th applications plus the 13th is a holliday.
What happens if my time runs out beforee the application is approved or denied?

Hi pirch,

This link might help you about Restoration of status.

As long as you apply for visitor status before your permit expires you're fine.

My visitor permit didn't come though until a week after my permit expired and I stopped working.

I am also applying for an lmia

If for some reason the visitor Visa is rejected. Then can I use restoration . ?? Or do I have other options. I am not that worried about working. If I can't work its ok.
