Hi Everyone,
My parents visited us in March and lockdown started after their arrival. They have their I94 validity till 4th September and B2 visa is also expiring on 10th September'2020.
There is no regular flights this time and to avoid quarantine process and covid-19 risks, I applied for their current stay extension requests for few months by filing I-539 for each of them (mom n dad) online which are in PENDING status at present.
I have few questions.
1. Is I-539 filing is good for both I-94 and B2 visa extension ?
2. Can they get a I94 extension for another few months even if their B2 visas are expiring ?
3. I understand there is a separate process DS-140 for visa extensions. But, all non-immigrant service contact line have been suspended till-date and department of states offices are closed for non-immigrant cases. Hence, I am not sure if I should also file for DS-140 extensions?
4. What are the options i have for their stay extension by few months if both I94 and B2-Visa expiring same time in September 1st week.
I would appreciate any help or guidance here.
Thank you all in advance.
