Citizens of the UK can extend their B2 up to one year, the form (used to be?) I-539. The extension can take 45 to 60 days to process
That's kinda cool and should work out well for these guys. I wonder why they don't do the same for Canadians. We haven't had the need to stay longer but I can see wanting to hit some of the more summer destination national parks and then returning for the standard winter stay. No big deal for us as the years we did that we just spent some time touring Mexico. But I can see where it might be handy. I remember the border guard explaining that the visa that Canadian snowbirds are on something they call "an implied B2 visa". No idea what that means but I remember him saying 6 montgs was Max. It also gets goofy for taxes after that as the IRS has their own criteria unrelated to the immigration folks.
Do you know if they are able to extend their B2 from inside the USA?
