How can I extend my stay in the U.S.?

In Virginia, there are several ways to extend your stay in the United States. The most common way to do this is to file an application for a change or extension of status. This application is available through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Depending on your current status, the requirements for obtaining an extension of stay will vary. For instance, if you are currently in Virginia on a student or work visa, you may need to file an application to change your status either to a different student or work visa, or to another type of visa. In order to extend your status, you must show evidence of your eligibility for an extension of your current visa. This may include showing evidence of successful completion of a course of study, evidence of an employer’s extension of a work contract, or showing that you have applied for or received another type of visa. You also may need to submit a copy of a valid passport and/or other documents demonstrating your identity and/or eligibility for a specific visa. If you are seeking to extend your stay in the U.S. beyond the expiration of your current visa, you must submit an application for an extension. This application must be filed before your current status expires. If your application is approved, you may be able to remain in the United States while your application is being processed. Finally, please keep in mind that extensions or changes of status are not guaranteed and are ultimately decided by the USCIS. It is therefore important to review all documents carefully, as well as to provide any requested documentation in a timely manner. If you have any questions, please contact the USCIS for more information.

Para obtener una extensión a su estancia en los Estados Unidos, lo primero que debe hacer es revisar el estado de su visa. Si su visa es una visa de no inmigrante, entonces usted necesita solicitar una extensión de visa a través de una solicitud de extensión de visa. Esta solicitud debe presentarse directamente a la Oficina de Movilidad y Llegada de los Estados Unidos (USCIS) al menos 45 días antes de que expire su visa. El USCIS también exige que presente documentación adicional para demostrar que aún necesita la visa. Otra forma de extender su estancia en los EE. UU. Es a través de la solicitud de residencia permanente. Si cumple con los requisitos de residencia permanente, entonces puede solicitar una extensión de estancia en los EE. UU. En este caso, puede presentar una solicitud de extensión directamente con el USCIS. Esta solicitud debe presentarse antes de que expire su visa y proporcionar toda la documentación requerida para demostrar que aún cumple con los requisitos para la residencia permanente. Un tercer enfoque para extender su estancia en los Estados Unidos es solicitar la ciudadanía. Si cumple con los requisitos de ciudadanía, puede solicitar la ciudadanía de los EE. UU. El proceso de solicitud de ciudadanía es bastante extenso e implica muchos pasos. Antes de presentar su solicitud, debe asegurarse de que cumpla con todos los requisitos establecidos por el USCIS. Si cumple con los requisitos, entonces puede solicitar la ciudadanía de los EE. UU. Y obtener una extensión de su estancia.
