How to extend my parents' American tourist visa?

It is the annual tourist season again. At this time, many people will choose to travel to the United States and feel the unique scenery and customs of the United States. Let me show you how to extend your parents' tourist visas in the United States.

When can the extension application start at the earliest?

B2 The extension of the visa for visiting relatives should be put forward before the expiration of the 1-94 card, but not more than 60 days in advance, otherwise the Immigration Bureau will not accept it. Therefore, the best application time is about two months in advance (to be precise, the application should be submitted between 45 and 60 days before the due date). Applications submitted after the deadline can only be accepted if there is a full explanation for the delay time, such as illness and post office delay.

When these materials are sent, if you don't receive the receipt from the US Department of Homeland Security before the expiration of the first endorsement time, it means that you have been refused a visa and must leave the United States at the specified time; If you receive a receipt from the Department of Homeland Security before the first endorsement, it means that you can stay in the United States. You can also feel free to handle some related matters such as changing the visa. Generally speaking, it takes more than four months to receive the formal approval document for the extension of the contract from the information sent by the applicant. So if you want to take the initiative, you'd better start the extension procedure two months before the visa expires.

List of materials required for extension (taking online application as an example)

The following documents are required to apply for B-2 visa extension:

1. Scan passport

2. 1-539 table

The form can be downloaded and filled out on the official website of the Immigration Bureau: http://www.uscis.gov/i-539.

4. Financial (bank) certificates or economic guarantees issued by relatives and friends of the applicant.

This is the most important thing to postpone. Basically, the focus of visa extension and visa application is different. When applying for a tourist visa in China, the key point is that there is no tendency to immigrate. The key point of the extension is to convince the Immigration Bureau that you have the money to stay in the United States without becoming a burden to the United States government.

5. If you have family members, you need to submit proof of relationship, such as marriage certificate and birth certificate.

6. The application letter written by the inviter, relatives and friends or myself, which aims to explain the reasons for the extension and has sufficient economic ability to maintain the expenses in the United States.

Finally, I would like to remind you that although the article has fully explained the knowledge about how to extend parents' tourist visas in the United States, everyone may encounter different problems, and everyone still needs to treat them reasonably according to their own situation to avoid falling into misunderstanding.
