Frequently Asked Questions
When should I file Form I-539 to extend my visa status?+
You should file Form I-539 at least 45–60 days before your current authorized stay expires (shown on your I-94). USCIS takes 5–11 months to process I-539, but as long as you file before your status expires, you are in a period of "authorized stay" while your application is pending. Do not leave the U.S. without an approved extension or you may face reentry issues.
What is the difference between extending status and changing status with I-539?+
Extending status means staying in the same visa category (e.g., B-2 tourist to B-2 tourist) for a longer period. Changing status means switching from one category to another (e.g., B-2 tourist to F-1 student). Both use Form I-539. The documents you need to submit differ depending on which visa category you are requesting.
Can I work while my I-539 extension is pending?+
No. Form I-539 does not authorize work. If you are on a work-authorized visa category, you need to maintain valid work authorization separately. Filing I-539 does not give you new work authorization or extend existing work authorization.
What happens if my I-539 is denied?+
If USCIS denies your I-539, you may be required to leave the United States. You generally cannot appeal an I-539 denial, but you may file a motion to reopen or reconsider if USCIS made an error. Asal Multi Services can help you prepare a complete, well-documented I-539 application to reduce the risk of denial.
