The United States Embassy in Georgetown is urging non-immigrants, who were forced to remain in the United States beyond their authorised period of stay, because of travel restrictions stemming from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, to apply for the necessary extension of stay.
“If visa holders anticipate that they will be in the U.S. beyond their authorised period of stay, they should file for an extension of their stay through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by following the instructions at https://www.uscis.gov/i-539,” the Embassy, today, said via its Facebook page.
The Embassy warned that lengthy stays in the United States on a visitor visa and failure to request a timely extension of stay can affect persons’ continued eligibility for a visitor visa.
