6 months visitors visa running out while waiting on E2?

[Ghost 6]

Hi there.

 

I was told you can file an E2 visa while your on vacation only after 3 months of entering and allow to stay until your visa app is either approved or disapproved (even if it passes the 6 months allowed for visiting) and you can wait in the country? If not approved you have to leave within 30 days. Is this true about being able to stay in the country and over staying your 6 months visitors visa?  Thank you.

@Mike E,  Is this through an I-539 Change of Status?

Nevermind I think you just extend the stay. Thank you.

You might want to read this:  I am no expert, but this might apply.  Looks pretty risky to me.

I'm sure other members, who are more knowledgeable on this subject, will offer advice.

Nope this is good enough.  Also was told I can extend it.

I won't they got a faster way of doing the visa if you just pay extra. I had no clue. saves me a bunch of bs and time.

You may apply for an extension, but there is no guarantee that your application will be approved.  I-539 EOS is not a rubber-stamp process.

Who’s they?

what faster way is that?

Im sorry to burst your bubble or rain on your parade, but usually the shortcuts with USCIS or DHS can go south pretty quickly. 
Beware of people on the internet saying they can get you a visa/ extension really fast blabla. That’s the real bs. In addition, extensions are taking really long, and if you’re denied, you’ve already accrued unlawful presence, which will most likely result in a ban. Don’t act on impulse and be wise.

Presumably Consulate processing, that would be quicker and has numerous benefits.

They as in the gov for processing you can pay extra to get an answer within 15 days for your business. That's what I mean. I was going to do extensions but forget that if there is an option to get an answer quicker.
