My parents came here last November with an I94 expiration in May this year. I have applied for an six month extension of stay until November 11th for them. I applied through USCIS ELIS online service in Feb. Late March we took a 7 day family vacation to Mexico. At the airport, the immigration officer took away their old I94 when we left US and issued them new ones when we came back with an expiration date of October 1st.
I received a denial letter yesterday saying that the extension application is denied because of their departure of US. I completely have no idea of a temporary 7 day departure of vacation will cause the denial of the case. Based on your experience, can we request for reopen the case or what are my options here? I really hope that I can extend their stay until November for some family reasons. So any help / suggestions will be greatly appreicated.
Thanks!!!
