New Jersey Immigration Visa Attorney

Obtaining Visa Extensions

Most visas carry a set time period that allow you to legally be in the United States.  Different time periods apply to all the different types of visas available.  When a foreign national arrives in the U.S. with their approved visa, they are given a form I-94 which the USCIS inspector stamps with the date that lets the foreign national know the when they must leave the U.S.  There are extensions available, however they must be requested at least 45 days prior to the expiration date on your visa. 

If you fail to obtain an extension and do not leave the country by the date on your visa, you may have penalties which result, barring you from re-entry for 3 or 10 years.  Proof that you are willing to obey U.S. immigration laws by correctly applying for an extension is be important if you want to travel to the United States as an immigrant or nonimmigrant in the future. If you break immigration laws, you may also become subject to removal (deportation).  When needing an extension of your visa, a knowledgeable New Jersey immigration attorney can assist you in providing the correct information and documentation to help you extend your stay.
