B-1 Visitor visa extension

The B-1 / B-2 visa is for coming to the U.S. for temporary business or pleasure trips. The B-1 visa is generally used to come to the U.S. to make investments, to purchase goods, or to conduct other temporary work on behalf of a non-U.S. employer. You may not be employed or be paid by a source inside the U.S. The B-2 visa is for tourists who are visiting the U.S. Tourists of some countries may enter the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa under the visa waiver program.

Duration of your visit

B-1 / B-2 visitors for business or pleasure may be admitted to the United States for a period of six months, up to one year and may be granted extensions of temporary stay in increments of no more than six months each.

How can I extend my stay in USA?

You can extend your stay in B-1 visitor/tourist status by a maximum of six months due to an "unexpected situation " such as medical treatment or the delay in the conclusion of business matters.

If you are visiting the United States and need to extend your B-1 / B-2 visitor status, contact the immigration law firm of Muston & Jack, P.C., in San Jose, California, to schedule a time when we can meet and discuss your concerns.
