kavindra Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hello, Currently my parents are in USA on Visitor's Visa (B2), they arrived on the first week of Feb-2020. Their B2 visa is valid until May 31 2020. However, they were given I-94 until Aug 1st week of 2020 by the CBP officer at port-of-entry Q1: When should they leave USA, by May 31st (B2 visa expiry date) or Aug 1st week (I-94 date)? Q2: Do I need to do any paper work If I want them to leave after May 31st? I may want them to leave USA after current Pandemic situation gets better in India Please advice, thank you for your reply Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 1. The visa lets them enter. The I94 tells them how long they can stay. Quote Link to comment
MurthyIndia_Lawyer Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi! Thank you for your questions. One can stay in the U.S. until the validity date mentioned on the I-94 even if the visa is expiring earlier. If your parents plan to stay beyond validity of I-94, then they will have to file an application to extend the stay before expiry of the I-94. Quote Link to comment

kavindra Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hello everyone, Parent's B2 visa expired on May31st, and as suggested they are continuing to stay in USA until 1st week of Aug. If I apply for extension of the stay, and once approved, will it grant them another 10 years of B2 visa with a renewed I-94 OR only renewed I94 will be given? Please advise Quote Link to comment
