Can I extend my non-immigrant B visa for 1-2 weeks as a tourist?
I am here on a non-imm B visa as a visiting university professor. My visa and work permit expire shortly. I would like to stay an extra 1-2 weeks, more or less just as a tourist, after that. Is there anyway to get a short extension like that, on a non-tourist and non-imm visa?
