How to extend my B-1 Visa?

You must return to your home country after 6 months and not stay in the United States past your visa expiration date. If you need a B-1 visa extension, however, you must work with your employer. With a B-1 visa, you must demonstrate that you have not finished all of your business obligations. You must also obtain letters from your employer or corporation confirming that your presence in the United States is necessary for business. However, because you are not permitted to work for a US corporation and generate an income, you must also demonstrate financial stability and sufficient funds to remain in the United States.

Can I book a Visitor Visa appointment without submitting DS 160?
