jugal84 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 My parents visited the USA on a B2 visa and their i94 is going to end in a month. I applied i-159 (extension of stay) 20 days back at Texas Service Center, the current estimation time for processing is shown as 6-8 months. I read in various forums that people can stay until the i-159 is pending but what to get a clear picture of what would be consequences at the various results of the decision.What would happen if(a) The decision is pending, they overstay for 2-3 months and leave the USA?(b) They overstay and received a denial for the i-159.?Also, what would happen to their B2 visa for the above two scenarios?I know this could be a common question asked here, Sorry, if it looks repeated. Thank in Advance Quote Link to comment

Can you tell what will happen to their visa in these two cases? Quote Link to comment

adshah84 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's not a good idea to stay beyond 6 months. It will jeopardize future entry and visa. Quote Link to comment
