Answer
Yes, you can apply for extension using Form I-539, but you must:
- File before your current stay expires
- Have a valid reason for extension
- Show you have sufficient funds
- Demonstrate non-immigrant intent
Extension is not guaranteed and processing can take 3-6 months. You can stay while application is pending if filed before expiration.
