My parents are here in USA on visitor Visa.
They got 10 yr multiple entry visa in 2004 and made a 4 months trip in the summer of 2004. They got 6 months I-94 permit but only stayed 4 months and returned back.
After three and half years I have called them again and this time although my father was given a six months I-94 stay, my mother only got three months by the same POE officer. [no other remarks on the I94 and no questions asked either.]
They did not realize at that time about the discrepancy in their I94 permit and I thought it should be simple enough to get an extension. And now the situation is, her I94 is expiring on Jan 1 and my father's 194 is valid till April 1.
Their current return ticket is for Jan 15th and I want them to stay atleast until that date and hopefully a bit longer (mid feburary). While I am going to apply for her extension shortly, the thing that I am somewhat concerned about is by the time we get a decision and if it is not in our favor she might have overstayed by couple of weeks!
My questions are
1) what happens if she goes back after I94 expiry but before any a decision is made on her I94 petition ? -- A very likely scenario for us
2) Is there a grace period such as one week or two week after the extension is denied.
Any constructive response will be highly appreciated.
