CASE: B-2 Visa Extension / I-539
NATIONALITY: Korean
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client is a Korean national who came to the U.S. on a B-2 visitor visa. She wanted to visit her daughter who is studying in the United States. She consulted with our firm a few weeks before the expiration of her B-2 status. She wanted to extend her visit for six months to visit her sister and be with her daughter for a longer time. We explained that the CIS has been more stringent on visitor status extensions.
Upon retention, we went into detail with her reasons for requesting extension. Her daughter was entering her senior year in high school, and our client wanted to be there as her daughter chooses a college and prepares for applications. We made sure all addresses, contact information, and dates on her statements were complete and accurate. We made sure all her plans were supported by corroborating evidence as exhibits to the application to avoid a possible Request for Evidence from the CIS. Our office submitted letters from family members in the United States, an employment verification letter for her husband in South Korea, as well as financial documents from Korea. We filed the I-539 Extension Application on July 26, 2011 and her B-2 status extension was approved on August 11, 2011 with no Requests for Evidence.
