Visitor Visa Extension

[vamsi2k]

HI,
My father was given a 3 month valid I-94 when he arrived here. Now we would like to apply for an extension of his stay. Currently, his I-94 expires on Nov 4, 2006. I hardly have 40 days left now.
Can i apply for the extension by filing the I-539?
What happens if it is denied because i am worried his 10 yr multiple visa might be jeopardised beacuse of this action
Iread in this website that you should stay for a minimum of 3 months in order to apply for this extension? is this true? because his I-94 is valid only for 3 months and i cant wait till 3 months and file? please advice
If denied, is there any time within which he has to leave the US?
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated .
Thanks in advance

Per law, visa gets cancelled once extension is rejected but there are some people who says it is not...

extension needs to be applied 4-6 weeks before I-94 expires.
If denied, is there any time within which he has to leave the US?
Per law, immediately... no grace period

Similar issue of Visitor visa Extension

Seeking advice......

My parents and sister are in US and their I-94 validity period is for 3 months with 10 year multi-entry Visa. They have return tickets for the last week of Jan and I-94 is valid only till mid of December.

My questions are:
1) If I file for an extension, what are the better reasons for requesting extension?
2) Should I file 4 to 6 weeks before?
3) If the extension is denied before the end of Jan what measures I can take?
4) If the extension is denied after they leave the country i.e after the end of Jan, can I write them a letter to disregard the extension application requesting not to process it?

In any case they will have to carry the copy of extension application to submit it with the expired I-94, right?

All help is appreciated!

My Own Extension Got Approved recently

I arrived here November 2005 and got a six month stamp till May 2006. April 2006 I applied for extension and July 2006, USCIS asked for documents. I just got my approval last September 2006. They gave me another six months ending November 2006.

My advise is, apply as early as possible. USCIS takes a long time before they respond. If by your I-94 expiration, you dont hav ethe results yet of your extension, leave the US and withdraw the extension request. Don't jeopardize your status.
