Extension Approved but only for 3 months

wac-03-040-xxxxx

as per online message

AD: 1/2/2003.
RD: around 11/26/2002.

$140 fees
sent copy of I-94.
Travel given as reason for extension.

Extension given for only 3 months.

Question: Can I apply for a second extension of another months?

When did u apply?

I want to know how long it took - the whole process.

Might not be a good idea to ask for a second extension. maybe better to leave the country and come back after few months.
just my thoughts.

What service center did you file your case to? I filed same case for my mother-in-law at NSC and the receipt date was 10/8/02. I called INS yesterday and the officer told that they are currently review cases filed in August last year. Thanks in advance.

Documents needed for B-2 extension

What are all the documents needed for B-2 extension ?
The following are what I gathered from reading the posts in this group.

Check for $140
Original I-94
Letter explaning reason for extension

What should we do if INS doesn't say anything (Regarding the extension) before the expiry of the I-94 ?

What happens when INS doesn't say anything about stay extension keeping the I-94 card ?
Aren't we supposed to submit I-94 during departure ?

Thanks

- INS filing fee in amount of $140 (personal check).
- Form I-539 Application.
- Orginal I-94 cards, front and back.(Keep a copy front
and back with you), some people have sent copies and have recieved the approvals. so its upto you.
- Copies of the Passport (visitors), pages that include
+ passports issue date and expire date (first 3 pages)
+ last admission stamp in US
+ current visa that was used to enter US.
- Letter explaining why extension of stay is required.

Lawyers advise you against this. I didn't send the originals either..

Wondering how long it takes

The JIT report currently shows that they are processing cases received on or before 11.25.2002

I-539 Application for Extension of Stay for Other Nonimmigrant 11.25.2002

But Arun_Mehta says his Receipt date was around 11/25 and he got approved by jan 1st week?

The automated voice mail at INS says it takes between 28-30 days to process the case.
