Hi

My mother is here on a visitor visa. I applied for an extension
of I94 for another 6 months during sep 2000. I got the receipt
from INS (with a notice date) but so far we have not received
the extension. And her additional stay of 6 months is getting over
next month. Since the old I94 is expired during Oct 2000, will
she have any problem leaving the country.
Is it enough if we show the INS receipt for the extension while
leaving the airport? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

BTW the automated message says that it is taking between
300 and 330 days for INS to process this kind of a case.

From what I know, there shouldnt be any problem. I think that it
takes upto a year to adjudicate this kind of case but as long as the
applicant leaves within the specified time of the extension, there
shouldnt be any problem.

by the way, can you please tell me the list of documents you sent to
ins for the extension.

thanks

Here is the list of docs

1) Completed I-539
2) Original I94
3) A letter stating the reason for extension and what arrangements
     have been made to depart the US (copy of return flight ticket)
4) Letter from my employer stating the salary.
5) Current month\'s bank statement

I think the first 3 are important. Though the last 2 are not mentioned in the
I-539 instructions, guess it would be good to send them

Hope this helps

Where do these documents need to be mailed to. Is there 1 common address for applicants or is it the local INS office?

My in-laws got 6 months visitor visa and they entered U.S. on Feb. 18th but the immigration officer at the port of entry gave I-94 for only 3 months(valid till May 18th). Do I need to send paper work for extension or can they go to Canada and while coming back, can they get the I-94 extended for another 3 months (which makes it valid till August 18th)?
Since they got their I-94 for only 3 months, is it OK to get it extended for another three months or will they have problems next time they appear for visitor visa? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Could someone tell me the fee for I-94 extension, if we are applying for a couple? It says $120 on the application(I-539) and I am not sure if that is per application or per person. I read in the FAQs on this site that the fee is $120 and add $10 per each additional person.
I would appreciate if someone could clarify this.

Thanks!

Hello All,

I know that the return tickets are to be attached as part of the extension application for Visitor Visa. But I am not clear which ticket I have to attach. Is it the original ticket to be used at the end of the first visa period or is it the ticket to travel back at the end of the extension period. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mahesh

reason used to extend stay

Hi ins_waiter_waiter,

What reason did you use to extend stay in the I-539 application.
Can anyone help as to what reasons are valid reasons for extending
stay of visa. My mother-in-law was admitted for 6 months and I am
planning to extend her stay. Also what duration before 6 month expiry
should one apply for her extension.

Any help in this matter will be really appreciated.
 
I want to see my mother- in- law!!

I have a mother in law in mexico, is there any way of getting a visa for her to come to the United States for at least 30-60 days?
if so please tell me where i need to go and what i need to do.
