Non-Immigrant Visa Extension

Need to extend your stay in the US with a non-immigrant visa? Here's how Form I-129 can help:

Who's Eligible? H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN visa holders (and others) can qualify for extensions.

Key Points:

  • File before your current visa expires (ideally 45 days prior).

  • Employer files for you with USCIS (Form I-129).

  • Gather supporting documents (arrival record, employment proof, etc.).

  • Pay the filing fee (check USCIS website for current amount).

  • Processing times vary, so check USCIS website for updates.

  • Approval = extended stay (new Form I-94 with new expiration date).

  • Denial = possible departure requirement.
