My fiance and I are waiting forour NOA2 currently.

My fiance, the beneficiary is in USA visiting me, he bought a ticket for 3 months and entered the USA using his tourist visa.

When he was entering the USA, they stamped his passport saying he is allowed 6 months (even though his ticket is for 3)

Our NOA2 hasn't arrived so we want him to stay for longer.

Would it be ok if we postponed his flight another 1-2 months, until we receieve NOA2?

Is it legal?

Thank you very much!

Of course its legal for him to change ticket. He's here legally. Just don;t over stay and you will be fine. If interview comes within that 6 months he'll have to return for that. But enjoy your time (keep that evidence coming. ) :)

Thank you very much!

Just to be sure, "overstaying" means staying more than 6 months?

In case a problem arises and they say he overstayed 3 months (because of his ticket), will the 6-month stamp be enough proof that he didn't overstay?

If his passport is stamped for 6 months, he can stay for the duration for the time shown despite having a three-month return ticket. He just needs to change his return date! So, no, he won't be regarded as an overstayer if he stays beyond his return date. Hope this helps.
