Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status

Are you currently in the U.S. and need to either extend your current visa status or change to another nonimmigrant visa status?

The Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, submitted on form I-539, is used by nonimmigrants currently in the U.S. to request an extension of their stay or a change of their nonimmigrant status to a new status.

Individuals who are in the U.S., such as visitors, students, or temporary workers, may use this form to request an extension of their stay in the same nonimmigrant category or to change to a different nonimmigrant category.  

We recommend applicants who need to change or extend their nonimmigrant status begin the application process early, as processing times can vary.  

Requirements

To qualify an extension or a change of nonimmigrant status the applicant must be:

• The applicant was legally admitted into the U.S. in a nonimmigrant status;
• The applicant's current nonimmigrant status has not yet expired;
• The applicant has not committed any crimes or violated any immigration laws that would render them ineligible;
• The applicant is otherwise eligible for the new nonimmigrant status.

Once you decide to proceed, our platform guides you through a series of questions and helps you gather all the necessary documents. Our immigration experts will then prepare your case and complete the necessary forms, while reviewing the application to ensure it presents the best possible case. As the applicant, you will file the final application yourself.

Your dedicated case manager will provide end-to-end review and communication throughout the life of the application, including assisting with responses to any USCIS requests, to maximize your chances of success.  The SuperVisas platform tracks key dates and expirations  to ensure deadlines and renewal dates are not missed.

Additional Services:

We also offer our clients supplemental visa and application services which may be required by the U.S. Government as part of an application filing, or which may improve an application’s success rate.  

For example, if you are not comfortable handling the communications with the government and filing your own application, then we can help you use an immigration lawyer to represent you as an Additional Service with additional fees. We have a network of qualified  U.S. attorneys and legal experts if you want the added peace of mind in knowing that your application is being represented by a licensed immigration attorney before the U.S. Government.

SuperVisas provides the following Additional Service for this visa: 

• Attorney Representation - In addition to our preparation of your application, you will be represented by a licensed immigration lawyer throughout the entire application process. If you chose this Additional Service, your case will be submitted by a licensed immigration attorney who will also respond to any additional requests from USCIS on your behalf. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing that an attorney is handling all communications with USCIS.
