Information needed regading extending a us b1 or b2 visa

[kenoz1853]

Hello, I hope somebody can shed some light on a visa issue for me. I have a 1friend here from south korea on a b1/b2 usa visa. The deadline on the i-94 card is in late november. We would like to extend this visa for another 6 months, and im told that the request can be denied in most cases. However, a travel agent told me that if she were to leave the USA and go to bermuda for example which is a britsh colony, that the visa would be extended when re-entering the USA. Is this true? Please help. Thanks so much

This concept was popular and CBP knows about it very well. There is 99% chance that this will NOT work as most of them are observant about the history of visits.

And yes, if the extension gets denied, the visa is invalidated as well.

quick question

When u say invalidated, are u talking about the current visa gets invalidated upon re-entering the us from bermuda? Or do u mean if we file for an extension and that gets denied then the visa is terminated at that point? Because I read somewhere that if you apply for an extension u have 30 days to leave if denied. Also, what could u say as to a good reason for staying? THANKS!

Your friend should leave the US before the date on the I94 without applying for extension if they wish to have a easy time entering the US again in a year or two.
