Extensions: Tunyan Law

Visa Extensions and Changes of Status

Helping You Stay in the U.S. Legally and Longer

If you're in the United States on a temporary visa and need more time—or wish to switch to a different immigration category—you must act quickly and carefully to avoid falling out of status. At Tunyan Law, APC, we help individuals, students, workers, and families apply for visa extensions or change of status while staying compliant with U.S. immigration law.

We guide you through every step to protect your stay, your goals, and your future.

What Is a Visa Extension?

A visa extension allows a foreign national already in the U.S. to extend their stay beyond the date listed on their I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, without leaving the country.

We assist with extensions for:

– B-1/B-2 Visitors (Business/Tourism)
– F-1 Students
– L-1, O-1, and other employment-based visa holders
– Spouses and dependents of visa holders (e.g., L-2, F-2)
– Certain humanitarian or special visa categories

Extensions must be filed before your current status expires—timing is critical.

What Is a Change of Status?

A change of status allows you to switch from one nonimmigrant category to another without leaving the U.S. Common examples include:

– From B-2 Tourist Visa to F-1 Student Visa
– From F-1 Student Visa to H-1B Work Visa
– From J-1 Exchange Visitor to Marriage-Based Green Card (Adjustment of Status)
– From Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Employment or Family-Based Visa
– From Visitor Visa to Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status (after good-faith marriage to a U.S. citizen)

We assess your eligibility, determine the best legal path, and prepare all required filings with supporting documentation to reduce the risk of delays or denials.

Common Issues We Help Resolve

– Approaching expiration of your I-94 stay
– Previous status violations or overstays
– Inconsistent immigration history
– Denials or Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
– Travel restrictions during pending changes
