We have filed for my mom's B2 visa extension through I-539 and have not received approval or denial. Her I-94 is expiring on 3/21, her visa is valid till 2026. If we do not get a extension decision before 3/21, can she stay in US or she has to leave before or on 3/21?

I have a similar situation. A friend from Venezuela is staying with me and is applying for a b1/b2 extension. the I-94 expires 4/17 so we have time and are well within the timeframe to apply for the extension. she owns a medical supplies business in venezuela and would like to attend a conference in florida for her business that she has registered for. her return ticket is based on her original I-94 expiration date though. should she change it based on the new date she wants to leave and submit the new ticket with her extension application so it shows intent to leave then? if she gets denied for an extension and is here after I-94 expires, she will leave immediately, is that going to give her future problems to come back to US if she wants to?

Originally posted by CMR View Postshe has 2 visits still left on her original visa, so if she stays past her i94 expiration and gets denied, then those last 2 visits are voided. am i right?

Originally posted by CMR View Postso if she leaves as scheduled before the I-539 expires, how long does she have to stay in her home country before she can come back to the US to use the next visit she still has on her visa?

If I send in her i539, and let's say she leaves in September before there is a decision on her extension but she ends up getting denied so she was in the US after her original i94 expired but not here when she was actually denied, does her visa still get voided?

In fact, once she leaves the US, she has no status to "extend" anymore, and the I-539 will be automatically denied because its result is meaningless anyway.

I know because she's not here. Basically all I'm trying to do here is ensure that her visa doesn't void out. It would be almost impossible for her to obtain a new one at her home country. If she is still here and gets denied than I would feel terrible for her because she loses the last 2 visits on her visa.
I spoke to the USCIS office and they confirmed what you said earlier about if she is not here and gets denied then it won't void it out and she just has to show her application and receipt of her application to customs when she comes back. She's trying to buy some time until September. Her i94 expires April 17. Any clue approximately how long they are taking these days to process the extension approvals or denials? They also said while they can't guarantee obviously if she will be approved or denied but generally if she hasn't had any trouble here then there shouldn't be an issue to get an approval.

Asylum
So we are about to file for extension of b1 status but things have gotten really bad in her home country of Venezuela. I was told asylum would be an option. Should we apply for asylum before applying for the extension of b1? The i94 expires 4/17/17. Any advice?
