Extending Your Stay on a Nonimmigrant Visa
Related Ads
If you entered the U.S. on a nonimmigrant (temporary) visa, you were most likely given a specific date by which you must leave. In some cases, however, it's possible for you to extend that date. This usually involves planning ahead, and submitting an application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before the end of your permitted stay.
