anbu1283 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Applying GC for parents that are currently visiting on visitors visa. Would a 485 receipt for them to extend their trip (i,e they can stay by default till adjudicated) or do we need to actually apply for an extension of stay beyond the 6 months permitted?

pontevecchio Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Once they have the receipt, they can stay. They will be considered awaiting AOS. In view of Immigrant intent, no extension of stay as a visitor will be granted in any case. Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 They can stay in the US for as long as their I-485s are pending, regardless of whether they have status. They should definitely NOT apply for B2 extension of stay. Not only is it unnecessary, but they would need to attach a statement explaining their plans to leave, and that would be a lie since they don't plan to leave. Quote Link to comment
