I am not the person to ask. I am assuming that your husband is already
dealing with a helper of some sort, either a religious refugee organization
or a lawyer. That is the only person you should explain your predicament
to.

Off hand, I would say that you should apply for an extension (I don't think
it would hurt but I do NOT KNOW it would not hurt his claim) but I would
worry that your being here as a green cardholder for permanent residence in
the US will hurt your husband's refugee claim - I just do not know enough
about refugee claims to be any more help to you than someone you met at the
supermarket.

However, the extension form is supposed to be submitted 30 days before the
expiry of your present visa so you MUST get it in immediately if you are
going to submit it.

You can find the application at
