Extending Your American Visa. Is it Possible?

American visa validity depends on a person’s nationality. For example, Vietnamese citizens are given a maximum of a one-year multiple-entry visa. Other neighboring countries such as the Philippines and Thailand are eligible for a maximum of 10 years multiple-entry visas while Cambodian citizens receive up to three-months double entry validity.

The expiration date that appears on an American visa is the date that the person must enter the United States. Upon entry, an officer with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stamp the traveler’s passport indicating the day that the traveler must depart the United States. However, once inside the U.S., a person can extend their stay even if their American visa has already expired depending on the visa that they used to enter the United States. This can be done by filing an I-539, Application to Extend/ Change Nonimmigrant Status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Once filed and if approved, a person can remain in the United States for a longer period of time.

If you are planning on traveling to the United States and planning on staying for a longer period of time, it is strongly recommended to consult with an American immigration lawyer who can advise on the risks and benefits of filing for an extension with USCIS.

How Can My Relatives and Dependents Help Me Meet the Income Requirements for the Affidavit of Support?

For individuals seeking lawful permanent residency while remaining in the United States, the Adjustment of Status (AOS) process offers a pathway to obtain a Green Card without leaving the country. In family-based immigration scenarios, a pivotal element of this process is the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”). This document creates a legal obligation between the Sponsor and the U.S. The Sponsor agrees to provide financial support to the immigrant (“Beneficiary”), ensuring they will not become reliant on government assistance. By submitting this affidavit, the Sponsor is contractually bound to undertake financial responsibility to ensure that the Beneficiary does not become a public charge. If Sponsor’s income falls short of the U.S. government’s minimum financial requirements for the Beneficiary, the Sponsor may be able to include the income of certain household members or dependents — but only if they meet specific criteria and agree to share legal responsibility.

What is a Form I-130A Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary?

A Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (“Form I-130A”) is a supplemental form that is submitted with a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and supplemental documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). A Form I-130A is only required when a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (“Green Card Holder”) is petitioning his or her foreign spouse. A Form I-130A is not required for all other Form I-130 filings, for example, for parents and children. The Form I-130A asks for specific information related to the foreign spouse. This includes the names, place of birth, and birth dates of his or her parents; previous and current addresses, previous marriages (if any); and other questions which the foreign spouse must answer truthfully. Once completed and submitted with the accompanying Form I-130 Petition, USCIS will commence processing. If USCIS determines that any additional information is needed, it will send
