Parents on a valid B2 Visa (Expiring Aug 25th) in USA. Applied I539 for extension but have not received the receipt notice. Can the stay back?

Hi there,

My parents came to the USA of Feb 26th and have a valid I94 until Aug 25th. Realizing that they may not be travel back, we send I539 and I539A application to the USCIS on July 22nd through an express overnight delivery (the package is showing as 'received').

Since then, we have not received any communication from the USCIS and do not have a valid receipt number that we can use to track the status of the application. What should we do in this case? Do they need to travel back somehow before Aug 25th? They are both 65+ and older and have pre-existing conditions that make their travel unsafe. Please advise.

Has the check chashed?  Does it have a receipt number on it?    Here is a link to filing online (in case the check is not yet cashed and you want to be on the safe side).  Hope this helps.
