Do the border run by land crossing in and out in a day

once you have the DTV passport is irrelevant. It's just leaving and returning that mattersKaty *******
Do you need to go to immigration after 90 days or just leave and renter after 180 days ?

90 Day is just a check in report. It is not an extension.Katy *******

TM30. Fill in form TM47 at the office. Copy passport pages 1 Bio page 2 visa stamp 3 entry stamp. That is what is required the office I use. I do not even see Immogration Officer. Hand it to clerk who checks for completeness. Get it back 20 to 30 mins later all complete.

Too early to extend. Do the border run. For the extension you will need all documents again + a fresh financial proof

OP@Dany *******
yes that’s why we can’t just fly in and out. She’s too close to giving birth. And I’m not sure if it’s best to do a border run with a newbornGreg ********
@Glenn *********
I would not do a border run with a newborn either.Greg ********
@Dany *******
She is giving birth next month ie February. Hardly wants to do a border run by road as cannot fly.Dany ********
@Greg *******
its not my idea to carelessly wait until the last month. could have easily did the border run in the last few months to get a new stamp and a free mind. so what options are there? if traveling isnt one then get the extension done and go probably multiple times to the immigration office until you have all documents they will require….

Better if she bounces at a border to get another 180 day stamp. She's way too early to get an extension now, typically when there are 30 days left, tho some main offices allow up to 45 days.

Varies between immigration offices. All previous paperwork and financial documents updated to application date of extension date
