I want to extend my mother's stay in US by 6 months (I-94 expires October-8). Has anyone applied and got extension for reasons other than wanting to travel and see more places in US.
The real reason is that my father passed away recently and I brought my mother with me to US. She would like to stay for another 6 months for emotional support. Questions:
1. Is it wise to state the actual reason? Would INS consider this as a sign that she is trying to stay here permanently? Do I need to send documentation to prrove my father's death?
2. This is the 4th time my mother is visiting US. If we give the reason that she wants to travel and see places, is there a chance that INS would reject it because she has been here so many times and should have toured most of US?
Please help.
