If B2 visa extension is rejected, Is the 10 Yr visa invalid

[Satyap]

My parents are visiting US for the third time. Last two times I have not extended their stay. But this time I'm applying for an extension of 6 months. Some of my friends said that INS does not require original I 94. If the extension (I-539) is rejected, the 10Yr visa will be expired. Today I called the INS representative, he says that INS requires original I-94 and if the extension is rejected, that does not affect the 10yr VISA.
I'm confused now. Can any of you help me...

Thanks

For visitor visa extension, you send ONLY the photocopy of I-94. Never send original I-94.

If extension is denied and if the person is still in US at that time, 10 year multiple entry visa is void.

Need clarification: B2 visa extension regected

I got the answer for the same question, however, I need some clarification about the answer:

"If extension is denied and if the person is still in US at that time, 10 year multiple entry visa is void."

I understand this as: if extension is denied and if the person is in the US at the time of denial, 10 year visa will be voided, right? In a word, your 10 visa will be valid if you leave US just before the denial date, right?

In case of denial, how would you know, 10 year visa is invalid? Do INS specifically mention this in the rejection letter? Or is it mentioned some where in INS website?

I would appreciate very much if somebody clarify this.

Thanks,

They don't mention that in the rejection letter.

But you won't be able to enter next time because they will be able to check that your visa was rejected.

This question has been discussed many times on this forum. Please look in old post to find out where exactly it says on USCIS site and under which section it is true.
