I'm a UK citizen, aged 24 and am in the US on a B1/B2 visa which is valid until October this year. i already know i want to extend. i have no dependants in England. what is the main criteria to make an application for the extension successful?? hope someone can help me. thanku

Having a real reason. A spontaneous reason. Not a preconceived intent to stay longer than you are welcome.

What is the purpose of your trip? says you have no dependents make you sound like a potential immigrant.

yeah, i hear that. my boyfriend is american and the purpose of my trip is to be with him and see how things go. i have been told that i shouldnt mention this to the visa people though. but i dont want to lie and be dishonest. so i really dont know what to do for the best...
