I applied two months earlier and that worked timely. Hope this helps.

What about the decision from USCIS? When did the decision from USCIS came? Before the expiry of I-94 or after? If no decision comes prior to expiry of I-94, what happens then? Thanks

USCIS will take a whole lot of time. My parents extension application is still pending. I filed on Dec. 1 and after 2 months it was transferred from Vermont to California and it is still pending there. good thing is that they can stay until heard from USCIS even after the I-94 expiry. USCIS will give you 30 days notice to leave the country if the extension is rejected. p.s. it is wise to file 6-8 weeks before I-94 expires.

Hey surexh, i would be applying last week of april which gives me 6 weeks of time. Can you tell me what reason did you mention on the application letter. Some people that i have talked with have said " ghumna bakin chha bhanera lekhne ho". I had one relative who sent me his application and it was just 6,7 lines saying i am yet to see other side of US and nothing else. Thanks
