That is why the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) allows foreigners to request an extension of their stay if their goal is to continue the same activities for which their visa was approved and issued.

And now the new technology USCIS allows foreigners with tourist, business and student visas, faster and easier to request an extension of their stay in the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced the launch of eProcessing, a digital immigration processing system that expands online registration.

This new system for processing applications for benefits will help visitors who come on business or on vacation, as well as foreign students to submit their applications for the extension of their stay.

Over time, other types of visa classification are planned to be added to this system.

“Each year, USCIS receives more than 8 million requests for immigration benefits. USCIS technology improvements will continue to enable more applicants to resolve many of these requests online,” the agency said.
