Hello,

Thanks

Canada may not issue the visa as her I-94 has expired. If the visa is for the purpose of getting a new I-94, that may not work as well.

Are they issuing new I-94 while returning back from Canada or Mexico..?
I am looking forward to apply for extention for my parent's B2 and trying to weigh the option of visiting Canada/Mexico and get a I-94 extention.

Please advise which will be the best method.

Their current visa is valid for another 9 weeks

thanks

If your trip to canada/mexico is less than 30 days, no new I-94 will be issued, and you will be allowed into the US provided your I-94 is still valid.

If you stay in canada/mexico for more than 30 days, a new I-94 may be given, but a reentry can be denied too if the officer suspects you are using this route to get another 6 months stay in US.
