Visitor Visa Extension..Urgent..Please help!!

[SnehaLatha]

Hi,

My mother visited the US in Sept.2006 and left in March2007. She visited us again in Sept.2007 and has her I-94 valid until 3/17/2008. We are planning on applying for an extension for 6 months. I am 7 months pregnant and due in April.
My question is should I quote the reason that I am pregnant and need my mom's support during childbirth or would I jeopardize the chances of an extension approval. Should I just mention that she is yet to visit other places during spring/summer??.....Please advise.

Also, I have a citizenship interview scheduled for next week....should I apply for the extension before my interview or wait until the interview is done??

Or would it be better for her to leave the country before her I-94 expires and return back in a month??

..........Confused and worried........any advise would be greatly appreciated....!!

Thanks in advance!!

Reason for tourist visa extension: More tourism.

However, she is practically staying in the US. I believe that chances of her extension approval are quite low.

first I have to ask, if you needed your mom in April why did you make her come on Sep 2007 and then kept her for 6 months. that too on top of a siz month stay from sep to mar earlier.

You may get an extension approved maybe even for another six months (they do make mistakes) but dont plan on her visiting you after this trip for at least a couple of years.
