changing from tourist visa to business visa

Question

I just received my second thirty day extension.  When I asked the? immigration officer what happens next month he replied there are flight to America.  That if I were unable to book one come back and consult with them.  What are the chances of changing to a Business visa providing I could acquire the proper paperwork?

Nathan · Answer

John, if there are flights, you may be required to leave. However, if you can't book the air ticket, you may be able to get another visa extension by providing proper paperwork.

Brian M · Answer

If there are flights, you must leave, regardless of the costs. If there is a travel ban to your country, then *maybe* they will give you a short extension, after which you get to do it all over again. JOY!
