Hi,
My Dad has been here in US on Visitor's visa and his 6 mths stay is expiring soon. This was his first ever visit to US. I want to file an extension and have following questions:
1. Whats the good reason for extension. How about an important religious ceremony near my son's first birthday. Does medical reasons need a proof while filing the app or in the event of their asking for proof what kinda proof would be required. Can we show indian doctors prescription or something showing his old ailment like asthma, etc.
2. What are the chances for acceptance considering it is his first visit. Does this effect the chances? any recent experiences?
3. I am on student visa (F1) and my wife is on J1 visa (research scholar). Does this has any bearing on the decision?
4. When should the app be filed. Is it okay to file just 2 weeks or so before his I94 date.
5. Do we have to send the original I94. The instructions for filling the I539 doesnt say so. It says original or copy?
Thanks in advance for the replies.
