Successful extension of visa

[aquach]

Has anyone successfully extended the visa for their in-laws? We would very much like mom to stay up to 1 year in order to spend Christmas 2007 with the whole family in the states. Has anyone has any luck with the extension. Also does it affect future visa applications (like in 2-3 years) if she wants to come over again?

 

Also I see something about renewing visas on the Beijing Embassy website ... what is this about?

 

Renewing visa at CITIC branch

 

It does say you can renew a B2 ... so I wonder does this apply for our cases?
