B-2 Extension beyond an year

[suchoudh]

Hi,

My father has been undergoing treatment for cancer in US for the last 1 year. He and my mother has already been granted an extension of B-2 of 6 months ( 1 year stay = 6 mo + 6 mo extension).

 

Now, that 1 year is drawing to a close, I was wondering whether it is possible to get an extension of another 6 month? His disease is in an advanced stage and the treatment is only available in US. If he has to go back, it will probably be fatal for him.

 

Can we make a case for another extension? Or is it expressely ruled out?

 

Please share your opinions/experience.

 

Thanks!

Talk to some attorney...probably they wouldn't allow.
