Hi all,
My mother came here this friday, dec 5 . She only got I 94 stamped for 1 month.

What should we do to apply for an extension ?
We would like to make sure that she gets 6 months of stay here. What all should we do, please advice..

Thanks,
Maya

You can apply for extension before her I-94 expires. INS will take 3-4 months to take the decision.So when you apply she can stay legally till INS reply.
Also in the covering lettr.
Mention that 1 month is not enough to visit around blah,blah
Send copy of ticket extended for six month
Send evidence for support.

My parents came her for six months . They extended here for another six months

good luck!
