Extension of Visitor Visa

[kakajunior]

Hi,

My mom arrived to US about a month ago. She has valid I-94 till mid of April. I would like to extend her stay for another 3 months up until July.

The main purpose is we would like to take her to few more places in the summer.

When does I send my extension application to USCIS? Is there a rule that I have send her extension application six weeks before her current I-94 expires?

Thanks,

Well for extension you need to have a genuine reason or a serious situation where she needs to be in US.

May be you didn't understand my question. I asked WHEN to send in the extension application.

From the i-539 instructions:

We suggest you filet at least 45 days before your stay expires, or as soon as you determine your need to change status.

She had a short I-94 time. This is unusual for most visitors; an extension in cases such as this is riskier than for others.

The instructions are publicly available

Is there a reason for the short I-94 time? Is there anything written on the I-94?

If they give out I-94s for shorter times, they often write "No EOS/COS" on it.
