How do I document extensions of stay for certain nonimmigrants who are extending their visa status?
The following nonimmigrants with pending applications to extend their stay are automatically authorized to continue employment with the same employer for a period not to exceed 240 days beginning on the date of the expiration of the authorized period of stay: A-3, E-1, E-2, G-5, H-1, H-2A, H-2B, H-3, I, J-1, L-1, O-1, O-2, P-1, P-2, P-3, aliens having a religious occupation pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2(R), and TN. To document this extension of employment authorization on form I-9, any expiration date noted in Sections 1 and 2 should be updated to clearly reflect this extension. This update should be clearly initialed and dated.
