Visitor Extension requests are not taken lightly by consular folks. Unless the extension is for a very valid reason (Medical grounds, emergency etc), the chances of them getting a tourist visa is remote. No amount of convincing would work if the extension was requested for trivial reasons...

Most important information is the reason for the extension An extension needs to be requested for extreme emergency cases and situations beyond control. Your MIL would be risking her visitor visa if the extension is denied and she stays past her original I-94 date. There is "NO GRACE...

Questions you need to ask yourself 1. Do you have a strong convincing reason to request an extension of stay even after spending 6 months? 2. Regarding how much extension, you need to decide based on the need, provided you have a valid answer to question #1. 3. Refer to the I-539...

If a person's I-94 has expired they will have 30 days after which they become deportable. For your MIL she will have to leave within 30 days. Normally as per rule 222(g) the 10 yr visa becomes void if the person had stayed past the I-94 date and the extension request is denied. The next visit...

Don't mix culture and immigration laws. They are completely different. What is OK for culture is not true for immigration. Immigration laws are created according to a country's needs and wants rather than trying to accomodate all cultural sensitivities. Having dear ones always helps, i...

Funlover Let me clarify a couple of points here. 1. A vistor's stay is temporary. He / she needs to spend more time in the home country than in the U.S. When this visa applicant went to the consulate for the visa, this person sworns to the VOs that he/she will return back before the...

Belacut A visitor DOES NOT have RIGHTS, only previledges. That visitor needs to honor the previledge and abide by the rules. A visitor is a person who comes and leaves, not start living. This is analogous to how you expect a guest (or a visitor) to be in your house. What will you do if...

In the application form there is a question asking for the list of immediate family members. Ur mom needs to list all your names. Answer the truth and nothing but the truth.

I don't understand why u are in a big problem unless u committed some fraud. First a person can at any one point of time have only 1 VALID passport that is used for travel. The only exception to this rule is for diplomats who have a diplomatic passports. Your current VALID passport must...

A person coming in here on a B-1/B-2 visa needs to be visiting not with an intention of getting married and settling in the U.S. This is the main reason why young single women have a tough time getting visitor visas. People need to be true to their words on what they say to consular...

State the true reason and there needs to be a real justification for an extension. Don't be surprised if they ask for proof of your illness and other records. My friend's parents had extended their stay a couple of years back as their son was undergoing a major surgery. USCIS has asked...

A person having a B-2 visa needs to spend more time at her home country than in the U.S. Repeated visits and staying for extended periods of time will definitely arise suspicion at the POE. If a person spends x months in the U.S, he/she should spend atleast 2x months in their home country...

Since u DID NOT honor the intention of your B-1 visa then your visa interview will not be easy. They can reject your visa on those grounds. You better be true to what u said during your visa interview. It makes like easy for citizens of your country to visit / tour the U.S.

If you got a B-1, then u must have come for some business purpose. What will happen to your business back home if u convert to H1 or F1? Something seems fishy here. If u really need a H-1 or F-1, why don't u go back to your home country and enter the U.S with a proper visa classification?

If your MIL stays past the I-94 date think about the following cases. (1) Extension approval :- NO ISSUE for the current visa. But officer at the POE can question the reason for her extension next time she enters the U.S (2) Extension denied :- Her current visa is electronically void as...

The answer is very simple. You need to say the truth. What was the reason you gave on the Visa application form?

As a general rule a visitor needs to spend more time in their home country than in the U.S. If your parents spent 1 year in the U.S and they are re-entering again within a year that does'nt show much ties to their home country. They don't seem like visitors in my view. They might be asked as...

You might want to be prepared for some grilling session by the consulate folks the next time when you go for your H1B stamping. The fact that you never remained true to your B-2 intention will NOT be taken lightly. Secondly just in case if your COS is denied and if you had stayed past the...

Your mom should better leave in 45 days. As a thumb rule a visitor needs to spend more time in the home country than in the U.S. Hope people realize that applying for an extension of stay does have "after effects" irrespective of the whether the extension is approved or denied.:rolleyes:

What visa status are you in currently?
