How do I extend my non-immigrant visa?

If you are a non-immigrant in North Dakota and your visa is expiring, you may be able to extend your visa. Generally, visas cannot be extended if they are about to expire. However, you may be able to apply for an extension if you can provide evidence that you are eligible for a different visa. To extend your non-immigrant visa, you must file Form I-539 (Application to Extend/Change Non-immigrant Status) with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Generally, you may be able to extend your visa up to 6 months. However, you may be able to extend your visa for up to a year if you can demonstrate “exceptional circumstances”. In addition to filing Form I-539, you must also submit proof of financial support, pay the applicable fees, and provide evidence of educational or professional qualifications. You may also be required to present evidence that you have not violated the terms of your current visa. If your visa extension is approved, you will be issued an extension of stay. However, if your visa extension is denied, you may be deported. If you are facing deportation, it is important to seek legal advice from an experienced immigration lawyer. It is important to note that applying to extend your visa does not guarantee that you will be approved. Additionally, it is important to file your application before your visa expires to avoid any potential penalties.

Para extender una visa no inmigrante en el estado de Dakota del Norte, primero deberá presentar una Solicitud de Extensión de Estadía (Formulario I-539) ante el Servicio de Inmigración y Ciudadanía de Estados Unidos (USCIS) antes de que expire la visa.

Esta documentación incluye evidencia de que sigue siendo elegible para la visa, evidencia de que ha pagado los impuestos, y evidencia de que sigue cumpliendo las obligaciones de la visa.

Debe asegurarse de que presente documentación adicional para apoyar la solicitud si es requerido. Una vez que USCIS reciba el Formulario I-539 con todos los documentos y tarifas requeridos, analizará la solicitud para verificar si su solicitud reúne los requisitos del estado de Dakota del Norte. Si el resultado de su solicitud es satisfactorio, le extenderán la visa por un tiempo adicional. Si USCIS no aprueba su solicitud o no recibe su solicitud a tiempo, podría ser deportado.
