  1. It's already too late.  You should have filed 2 months ago.

    You need to file an I-539

    A B-1, Visitor for Business or B-2, Visitor for Pleasure

    If you are filing for an extension/change, you must file your application with the original Form I-94 of each person included in your application. In addition, you must submit a written statement explaining in detail:

    3. A B-1, Visitor for Business or B-2, Visitor for Pleasure

    A. The reasons for your request;

    B. Why your extended stay would be temporary, including what arrangements you have made to depart from the United States; and

    C. Any effect the extended stay may have on your foreign employment or residency.

    If you are applying for an extension/change of B-1, Visitor for pleasure, you must designate your desired status using the following classification in Part 2.1.b of Form I-539:

    A. B-1A, non-immigrant who is the personal or domestic servant of a nonimmigrant employer;

    B. B-1B, nonimmigrant domestic servant of a U.S. citizen;

    C. B-1C, non-immigrant who is employed by a foreign airline;

    D. B-1D, non-immigrant who is a missionary;

    E. B-1, all other visa classifications not designated above.


  2. For I-539 Application to Extend/Change Nonimigrant Status, you must file at least 45 days before your I-94 expires, which was August 11. Also, you should have emergency situation to file extension.

    When Should I Use Form I-539?

    You must submit an application for extension of stay, or change of status before your current authorized stay expires. We suggest you file at least 45 days before your stay expires, or as soon as you determine your need to change status. Failure to file before the expiration date may be excused if you demonstrate when you file the application that:

    1. The delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control;

    2. The length of the delay was reasonable;

    3. You have not otherwise violated your status;

    4. You are still a bona fide nonimmigrant; and

    5. You are not in removal proceedings.
