Friends,

I am willing to file extension for my parents. Do I have to file seperate forms for my dad and mom? I know that filing fee is $300. If I file for them in single form do I need to send $300 or $600 ? or do I have to file seperate forms and send $300 each ($ 600 in total)?

What possible reasons can I show for the extension?

I will appreciate any help regarding this matter.

Thanks in advance 

can anyone help me in this regard?

 

Saathi, USCIS ko website ma gayera hernuhola.  Mero bichaar ma ta $300 each ho jasto laagcha.  But dunno for sure.

 u need to file i-539 for extension

do u have return ticket? it makes easier for exension

if yes, what's the date in it? it could be helpful if date is later than ur authorised stay

others could be like visiting places or relative, expected birth of baby or any other baby function

i hope it may help u

best of luck

 

Since your parents will apply jointly you should only pay $300. As long as the spouse and unmarried children under age 21 are co-applicants in the form I-539 and have the same status only one fee is required to adjudicate the case.

Good Luck!

Thank you friends,

If you have any other info pls let me know.

Thanks

Why do you wanna extend, I think you should apply for extension only for very valid reason.Recently I have seen and heard many cases that have been denied for extension . B1/B2 extension is really tough, unless its a medical emmergency.

Say,If by any chance u get ur case decison after I 94 expires and if no extenson is granted u end up being out of status and visa becomes invalid, u need to reapply for visa, which is almost impossibl.e 

 Good luck with your decision.

Bikash Kc and Istamitra is right. You do not need to file two seperate application, (You may include your spouse and your unmarried children under age 21 years as co-applicants in your application for the same extension or change of status, if you are all now in the same status or they are all in derivative status.), hence only $300.00 will suffice for your application. As far as reason goes, you should have believable reason why you want to extend their stay. You have to let them know and make them believe that whatever reason you need that extension for could not be done while they were here in past six months. Simply family reason, or medical reason or need to see more places will not serve the purpose.

My suggestions is have one of them go to the doctor and make them write you a report saying that he/she needs further medical investigation/treatment, or something else that would justify six more months of stay. One more thing, make sure you apply your extension before it expires and you can apply very close to the expiration day. Normally it takes two to three months for USCIS to answer you  for acceptance or denial. Even if it is denied they will give you 30 days to leave the country. As long as you apply before the expiration of your visa and leave the country wihin 30 days of receiving that letter, YOU WILL NOT BE OUT OF STATUS. That way you can buy few months, just a suugestion.
