Q: B2 visa extension for the second time in the same visit
My in-laws came to US on B2 Visa. We have filed for their extension for additional 6 months and that petition is still pending with USCIS. As they are elderly, they couldn't visit all places they want to visit and they would like extend the visa for 6 more months. My questions are
1) Are we allowed to file for extension more than once in the same visit?
2) Can we file the second extension while the previous application is still pending with USCIS ?
3) Are there any limits on the period of stay on B2 visa in a single visit as long as we file extension legally?
4) if we can file another extension, is the status legal until we get decision on the petition?
5) How long do we have before they have to leave the country if they denied the second extension?
Thanks in advance for your help!
A:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, but the odds of getting a 2nd extension are extremely low.
