Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: Visitors Visa Renewal

You may be eligible to apply for an extension of your visitor's visa while in the US. These applications are taking about 4-5 months to process, and you will be permitted to remain in the US while the applicaiton is pending. Generally, you can request an extension for 6 months.

With regards to travelling outside of the US, and then re-entering with your current B-2 visa, there are certain risks to consider, including how long you stay outside of the US prior to re-entering that you should consider.

To discuss all of your options in detail, I recommend that you seek the advise of an attorney. Please note that the content of this reply does not constitute legal advice or create an Attorney/Client relationship in the absence of an agreement for legal services/retainer with my office. This is just a place to start in deciding what to ask your lawyer.

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone or in-person consultation.
