What is form I-539?

I-539 is a form issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which allows people in the U.S. on non-immigrant (temporary) visas to apply for a different type of visa (change status) or extend their stay in the U.S. States. A non-immigrant visa allows a foreigner to enter and stay in the United States for a specific purpose and for a limited period of time.

What I need the I-539 for?

Form I-539 can be used if the non-immigrant wants to extend their stay in the United States. Non-immigrants are considered temporary visitors who must comply with the specific conditions of the visa, depending on what they do in the United States.

However, there is a list of visas using which you can apply for extending your stay in the US:

  • Diplomatic visas (A-1 – A-3);
  • CW-1 dependents;
  • Business and tourist visas B1, B2;
  • H Visa dependents;
  • F (Academic student visas);
  • L (Company transfer visas);
