Process For Visa Extension USA 

If you are currently in the United States on a nonimmigrant visa and wish to extend your stay

you will need to file an application with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Here are the general steps for applying for a visa extension in the USA:

Check your eligibility:

Before applying for a visa extension, you should make sure that you are eligible.

Generally, you may be eligible to extend your visa if you entered the United States with a nonimmigrant visa

 your visa is still valid, and you have not committed any crimes that would make you ineligible.

Complete the application

You will need to complete and submit Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status

This form can be found on the USCIS website.

Gather supporting documents

Along with your application, you will need to submit supporting documents to prove that you are eligible for a visa extension.

This may include proof of financial support, evidence of ties to your home country, and any other documents that the USCIS requests.

Pay the application fee

There is a fee for filing Form I-539. The current fee is $370, but this is subject to change

You may also need to pay an additional biometric services fee of $85.

Submit the application

Once you have completed the application and gathered all necessary documents, you can submit it to the USCIS

You can file online or by mail.

Wait for a decision

After you submit your application, the USCIS will review it and make a decision.

This process can take several months, so it is important to apply as early as possible.

Leave the country if your application is denied

If your application for a visa extension is denied, you will need to leave the United States before your current visa expires.

If you stay in the country after your visa has expired, you could be subject to deportation.
