Dear all

 

I sponsor my wife to US. She already has visa and the visa will expire on mid of Jan 2021. After my mother in law 

passed away my wife get depression and she want to stay a few more month in her country. That means she need

to have visa extend permission. Do anyone know how I can ask for her visa extend? Thank a lot

The better path is for her to fly to the US before it expires, become a LPR, and then return for however long she needs. You cannot extend a visa expiry date. Procedures for reissuing expired visas vary by embassy though all require new visa fees and new medicals. Some embassies will not reissue visas, and some not without detailed reasons that they accept. Very few if any will give a reissue with no questions asked.

You also will be plying with fire during these uncertain COVID times.

The visa is pretty much "use it or lose it".  It is possible that a consulate can reissue a visa but if there were no travel restrictions (COVID) on why she could not leave.   They are extremely likely to not reissue it.   Plus if they did, she would have to get a new medical and you would need to update your sponsorship info.  Chances are you would file a new petition and go to the end of the line.
