Vistor visa extension doubt

[viswa483]

Hi

My parents presently have a 10 year multiple entry visa and now they are in the US. We are planning to apply for a Visa Extension as their I94 is getting expired in the end of Feb.

From the other posts in the the forum I get to know, that it takes nearly 1-3 months to get a response and if their extension is denied they would have to leave within 30 days.

If we leave within the 30 days after the denial, is there any chance that their 10 year Multiple entry Visa would become void?

Thanks in advance for the help and for all the useful information in the forum.

Regards
Viswa

The multiple entry visa is void any time they exceed the stay past the I-94 date and extension gets denied.

If you leave within 30 days, your visa stays ok.
If they had to cancel your visa, they won't give you 30 days.

If the extension is denied and they stay past the I-94 date. The visa is Voided. Period.

They do get 30 days before they are deported. But the "grace period" is for not being deported. Not for your visa being safe. The visa is voided.

Bottom line will be that the POE officer can enforce 222(g) at his discretion... But someone overstaying their visa, filing frivolous extensions and coming repeatedly will not help their case.

Mr Praetorian XI,
If you are so sure, please guide me to an official link where it is written that
the visa becomes void in the context of extension denial.

PraetorianXI has posted an official link on this web site in past. Please search in the forums.

Also read https://www.immihelp.com/visitors-visa-extension/ It is clearly mentioned there too.

Page 2, last paragraph.

If your application for extension is denied after your previously
approved stay has already expired and while you are still in the
U.S., you will be considered to have been “out of status” as of the
date your period of stay expired, and will be required to cease
employment (if such employment was authorized) and depart from
the U.S. immediately upon denial of your application. In addition,
any nonimmigrant visa in your passport granted in connection with
such classification becomes void at the end of the period of autho-
rized stay. Once your visa is void, you will be required to submit any
new visa application at a U.S. consulate in your home country (not a
in your home country (not a
in your home country
third country, except in rare instances as determined by the
State Department).
