Is it possible to extend the tourist visa due to severe health emergency?

[MichaelA2014]

Hello.

My aunt is visiting as a tourist and she is due to return back to her home country in a month. Few days ago she was admitted to the ER with "post cardiac arrest" diagnosis. Basically her heart briefly stopped on the way to ER. So I am writing to ask if it is possible to file an extension for her stay here in USA due to this health emergency?

I researched google and found that there is a form I539 but it is confusing to me. The form asking about I94 form which was never given to my aunt at the port of entry.
What should I do? How to expedite the process?

Thank you for your time.

For the last several years, I-94s for people arriving by air have been electronic. She can print it out from here. There is no need to expedite it -- as long as it is received by USCIS before her status expires, she can stay for as long as it is pending.

newacct,

Thank you for the quick reply.

So the I-539 is the correct form?

Having problem filling up pdf form on computer

I am having problems trying to fill up form on computer. When I click on the birth date field and either select the right date from the drop down or type it in by hand I get the error "Please enter 2 digit month, 2digit day and 4 digit year" even though I enter everything correctly. Is anyone know how to overcome this issue?

Try using Adobe Acrobat Reader, or write it in by hand.
