Santa Ana Immigration Attorney

If it is a medical reason for you not to travel, then you can file the extension. Wanting to have the child born in the US is not, by itself, a valid reason for the EOS.

Yes, you can file for Extension of status for up to 6 months.

Possibly. If there are medical reasons that prevent your travel, you can obtain a doctor's letter to demonstrate that there is an emergent need to remain in the U.S. To deliver the baby. You can file the petition for extension of status with that evidence. Of course, the government will want to know if you disclosed the pregnancy on entry and if there were any questions asked about the pregnancy or any misrepresentations made. However, if there were no omissions or misrepresentations, you can certainly file for the extension. If you would like assistance with this process, please contact our office and ask for an appointment with one of our attorneys. W look forward to assisting you.

You can apply to extend your stay by submitting form I-539 to USCIS. I would also suggest that you include information about your pregnancy, and if possible a letter from your attending physician that includes any reasons why you wouldn't be able to travel home at this point in your pregnancy and why you must deliver in the U.S.

You can file for an extension of your visa, but it would whether it would be approved will depend upon the reason for the request, what documentation you have to support your need to remain in the United States, proof that you will return to your country, etc. It also depends upon what is indicated on your I-94. Typically, if a woman enters the country visibly pregnant, they will indicate no extensions or changes of status on the I-94. In general, USCIS will not approve a extension request if the purpose is so you can birth in the United States. Such a request is viewed as a way of circumventing the U.S. immigration laws.

If there are any medical reasons, yes.

Yes, as long as you submit your extension request prior to the expiration of your status indicated on your I-94.

You can apply for a visa extension as long as you are still in status at the time of filing the paperwork. If the father of the child is a US citizen, you may have other options as well.
