How can I extend my visa?
In order to extend your visa in Washington, you must first fill out an I-539 form. This form can be found on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. Along with the form, you will also need to provide evidence of your status in the United States as a student, such as a copy of your student identification card. You will also need to include evidence of financial resources, or a statement from a sponsor outlining the financial support that you will have while studying in the United States. Once the form has been completed, it will need to be sent to the USCIS for processing. The processing time for extending a visa can vary, depending on the type of visa you currently hold, and the current workload of the USCIS. In most cases, it can take up to two months to obtain a decision on whether or not your visa can be extended. If your visa has been approved for extension, you will receive a notice informing you of the extension of your current visa. It is important to note that extensions may not be granted in all cases, so it is important to speak with an attorney if you have any questions or concerns related to the process. Additionally, if your visa extension is denied, you may be required to leave the United States.
