JamesnYuHong Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 My mother-in-law is here on a visitor's visa. It was stamped for a 6-month stay, which will soon end. Does anyone know how likely it is that an extension would be approved? Any advice? Or better for her to go home to China and then return? Thanks! Link to comment
Kyle Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 When will her B-2 expire? If you're wanting to file an I-593, the instructions state to do so with at least 45 days prior to visit expiration. You will also need to provide the following: If you are filing for an extension/change, you must file your application with the original Form I-94 of each person included in your application. In addition, you must submit a written statement explaining in detail: 3. A B-1, Visitor for Business or B-2, Visitor for Pleasure A. The reasons for your request;B. Why your extended stay would be temporary, including what arrangements you have made to depart from the United States; andC. Any effect the extended stay may have on your foreign employment or residency. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 First read: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-752.pdf (Note C: may be an I-134 from you) Then file an I-539. (Fee $300) http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD Link to comment
JamesnYuHong Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Does anyone have experience actually doing this? Wondering if it would be better to apply for the extension, or to have her go back to China and then return. If the latter, anyone know how long she would need to spend in China? Link to comment
