Can I file for a visitor's visa extension just 10 days prior to expiration?

[saltyqueen]

Hello,

I need some fast advice, please!! Can I apply for a visitor's visa extension just 10 days prior to the expiration date of my visa? If so, what is the quickest, safest way for me to do this? I want to make sure that I don't violate any rules or laws and that I remain in good standing for the future. If it's not too late for me to apply, should I be applying online, in person (I'm currently residing in NYC), or by mail?

Also, what is considered a valid reason for extending my visitor's visa that will likely be accepted?

Thanks very much!

P.S. The visitor's visa origin, by the way, is the Philipines, if that matters.

Yes, you can file now.
You can NOT apply in person.
