A: If your girlfriend is on a B visa and wants to stay longer in the USA, she can consider applying for an extension before her current visa expires. She’ll need to provide a valid reason for the extension, such as her pregnancy, and submit the necessary forms and supporting documents to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Another option is to change her visa status. Depending on her situation, she might qualify for a different type of visa that allows for a longer stay or offers more flexibility. It’s important to carefully review the requirements for any new visa category she’s interested in and ensure she meets all the criteria.

Lastly, maintaining her legal status is crucial to avoid any complications. Make sure to keep track of all deadlines and requirements, and consider seeking advice from an immigration professional to navigate the process smoothly. Taking these steps can help ensure she remains in the country legally while you both prepare for the arrival of your child.
