I have read on a similar forum that you need to supply copies of all pages of passport (including blank ones).
On USCIS' website and i-539 form's guidelines, it is never mentioned to even supply any copy of passport. Is it a measure eventually particular to citizens of India? (I am from France).
Or is it just a recommandation to facilitate granting of extension?
Same thing about "Financial Support". And why would i need financial support in the first place anyway, since I'm an executive of a french firm getting my salary in France? I mean, i can support myself, i don't understand this request... Plus on USCIS' website, there's absolutely no reference to that. They ask for a simple cover letter so i guess it is enough. I understand it's always better to provide more proof than asked, but in my particular case, I'd rather take my chance and provide the bare minimum (I'm in a hurry) and THEN - if asked - provide whatever they ask me. At least I would have engaged the process and gain the right to remain in USA (even if my i-94 expires) until I receive their decision.
In other words, my strategy is to act fast and play the clock at this point. Maybe they will not even ask me for any additional documents, after all, there's no reference to providing such proofs on USCIS' website...
And does the USCIS really care more for zealous applicants? Couldn't that be counter-productive at one point and even look suspicious if an applciation contains too much 'proofs'?
