You have a family member with a B-1/B-2 visa that is about to expire. You need them to stay and are wondering if it is possible to renew their extension of stay again.

Renewing a B-1/B-2 visa extension of stay can be complicated. I have heard that USCIS has denied many applications, especially on the second or third renewal. However, some people have been able to successfully renew. It is important to note that if the application is denied, you should check to see if the process took 180 days. If so, the time of unlawful presence is counted from the date the visa originally expired.

Processing times for these renewals vary between 3.5 and 5.5 months, depending on the service center. If you find yourself in this situation, we recommend scheduling a meeting with us.
