Extend Your Visa / Visitor Visa Extensions

Traducción al Español

If you are currently in the United States with a visa which is about to expire but, considering your personal or global circumstances you wish to remain in the US longer, the best choice would be to file for an extension or change of your current non-immigrant status.

If you remain in the United States longer than authorized without any prior extension request your stay will be considered unlawful even if you stay for one day and leave the country. In this case, you will be barred from returning to the US, however if you are still inside the US with no pending extension/change of status filed, you will be removed (deported) from the United States forcefully.

United States Immigration and Citizenship Services recommends that you apply to extend your stay at least 45 days before your authorized stay expires.

You may apply to extend your stay if:

• You were lawfully admitted into the United States with a non-immigrant visa
• Your non-immigrant visa status is still valid
• You have not committed any crimes that make you ineligible for a visa
• You have not violated the conditions of your admission
• Your passport is valid and will remain valid for the duration of your stay

Considering the nowadays uneasy situation with the pandemic, many offices closed down temporarily or until further notice, however, the USCIS offices still accept and process applications.

Once the lock-down is over there will be an overwhelming flow of applicants that would overflow the processing centers. This would push back any and all processing time for each individual case which can complicate your situation even further. Furthermore, according to the proposed fee schedule for the application is set to rise sometime soon.
