Sample 3: “Cover letter for b2 visa extension”

“I am writing on behalf of my parents to please extend their stay in the United States. Presently they are here on B2 visa and are allowed to stay in the United States till 21st April 2014. They wish to extend it by another 4 months. Please find enclosed the application and the documents with the extension letter.

My parents came to the United States to explore the beautiful city. Till this time they have hardly managed to see a part of the place. They cannot travel all day long and therefore it becomes really tough to visit more than one place in a single day. After a long time I have managed to call them to stay with me for few months. And seeing their age I am not sure whether they would be able to commute such a long journey next time or not. Moreover, my job leaves me with the limited spare time to spend with my parents.

Please find enclosed the required documents for the extension process:

• Copy of form I-94

• Copy of all pages of passport, bio-data and visa pages.

• Copy of return airline tickets

• Form I-134 and bank statements.

I request you to please consider the application for extended stay. In case of any concerns, feel free to contact me at 656-282-3237.”

ATTN: I-539

2501 S. State Highway 121

Dear Sir/Madam.

I am applying for the extension of my wife B-2 tourist visa.

My wife has been in the US for a visitation, but according to her I-94, her authorized stay expires on 29th of August, 2021. But she would like to extend her stay to 30th of September, 2021.

She primarily came down to the US, in order to take our kid, who was supposed to be graduating on the 10th of August, back to Nigeria, in order to further his education over there, but there was an adjustment to their graduation date, and she wouldn’t be able to be taking him along, except she extend her visa duration.

Since this was her primary purpose of being here in the US, it wouldn’t be good if she is unable to achieve her aim, and I am working a long hour job, which left me with little time with the kid, and also visiting Nigeria isn’t viable else, I should have taken him back to Nigeria instead.

If her visa was extended, she shall be able to see over the preparation of our son graduation, and thereafter, take him back home with her.

Enclosed in this application are the following documents.

Form I-94 copies

Passport pages copies

Return airline ticket copies

Proof of her financial commitment to Nigeria, including her business lines.

Kindly note that my wife had a strong financial commitment back in Nigeria, and had no intention of remaining here in the US as a permanent resident, she own a chain of beauty spas which constantly needs her attention.

Therefore, I earnestly request that you approve her extension in the US.

In case you had any question regarding this application, kindly contact me at +1 (352) 575446

Sincerely,

Larry Gills.”
