Issue with return date on tourist visa

[lgiorgio 0]

I have a situation. I intended on being in the US for a short time 1.5 months, I was granted until then ticket date I booked - my return.

However I now have an offer to do a internship where the company may hire me under TN after I am completed a 3 month internship.

I have to return in a month and a half, is there something I can do to stay the full internship?

Is this an unpaid internship? You can apply for an extension

Have to talked to the company offering the internship?

To answer you both. I'm going to be given the offer tomorrow but I know they need me for 3 months and I just passed customs today so I'm already going to be in the US. Someone told me doing an internship is illegal without visa.. still considered work yet I did one in September and was given 6 months. I told them I was going back for a month or so and to see my friends. So I got stuck with buying a ticket on my mobile phone and they gave me the return date of Feb 24. If I'm offered an I term ship I'm scared to ask the company or tell them there are issues with my stay period.

It's an unpaid internship. Should I have them give me a formal letter with those details and you think there's something I can do while being in the US?

Unusual you can do an internship as a visitor.

Are you saying you spent 6 months in the USA, left for a month, and are now back?

That would be the reason they only gave you to your return ticket date; you cannot use the tourist visa to life in the USA, and right now, it looks like you want to spend 9 out of ten months in the US.

ouch

Should have said you can NOT do an internship as a visitor.

There are a few exceptions.
