## Notes
Since January 1, 2026 (Presidential Proclamation 10998), the U.S. has fully suspended visa issuance and entry for Chad nationals for all immigrant and nonimmigrant visa categories, with narrow exceptions (diplomatic/official visas, LPRs, valid pre-existing visas, etc.).

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **yes**
- Must leave the country: **no**
- Cost: $420

Granted in increments of up to 6 months. Repeated extensions are scrutinised as evidence of immigrant intent and are often refused without a compelling reason such as medical treatment or a family emergency.

**Cost detail.** $420 filing online, $470 by mail, plus $85 for biometrics where required.

**How.** File Form I-539 with USCIS before the date printed on your I-94. Filing on time keeps you in authorised stay while the case is pending, even past the I-94 date.

**If you cannot extend.** Premium processing cannot be bought for a B-1/B-2 extension at any price, and the median decision takes about 3.4 months — so an approval may cover a period that has already largely passed. File early rather than expecting speed.
