Extention of stay is an application made by a non-immigrant visa holder to the U.S. Citizenship and Services Center (USCIS) when he/she wishes to stay in the US beyond the validity of his/her current non-immigrant visa.
Generally, all non-immigrant visas are eligible for extension of stay except for certain types of non-immigrant visas i.e. K1, K2 visa etc… To be eligible for extension, the non-immigrant visa must be valid at the time of filing and the applicant’s passport must be valid throughout the whole application process. However, in the event that your non-immigrant visa has already been expired, you may still file for an extention if you have sufficient proof to support your application.
