ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I’m from the US & have a 6 month METV. Question is: when the consulate issued it, the valid from & to dates were Dec 27 to June 26. We arrived on Jan 15. According to our last stamp in, it is good until Jul 11. We would like to go out the day before (July 10) & get 60 more days on the visa. Is that possible? Or should we do the border run on June 25?
