Hello friends,

I have questions regarding B2 visitor Visa extension. I browsed a lot of internet forums but really didn't find any relevant info about re entry experience after a Visa extension that was denied/ withdrawn/ abandoned.

My mom s current I94 expires on sep 2.
He has 5 yr multiple entry Visa.

I filed for an extension request of 3 months timely as required by USCIS.

Today in mail received a notice of receipt.
Mom says she wants to return to Nepal before her I 94 expires d/t family situations as well as fear that her request will be denied.

So, now what will be the repercussions of withdrawal of I 539 on her future US entries?

Will she be sent back home by IO at the POE on subsequent visits?


Does anyone have experience with Visa extension? Did anyone have any problem upon subsequent visits?

Any experiences shared will be highly appreciated.

Once you file extension and have receipt of notice, you can legally stay in USA until you receive notice of approval/denial from USCIS even when your original I-94 expired.

If this is the 1st extension, it will be approved as long as you have valid reason for extension.

If you need to withdraw the application. just write a letter to USCIS with your case no and intention of withdrawing. They will withdraw your case, but fee is gone. Just send this to Mommy when she comes back again so she can prove that application was withdrawn just in case.

No issue in POE.

I did same for my parents. Filled for extension, they stayed another 2-3 months after their i-94 expired. They left, no results and send a letter to USCIS to withdraw extension application. USCIS send a letter confirmation.
