I applied for a B1/B2 extension since I am working on a project here in Florida, what will happen if the project is over and the results of my application has not yet been released? How will i be able to go back to my home country? The client will not pay for expenses once the project is finished.
1) DHS does not care if you overstayed your visa if you are attempting to leave the U.S. In other words if you are at the airport with a flight out of the country, no one is going to care if you are an overstay. They only care if you are attempting either to not leave or if you are attempting to reenter the country again after having overstayed previously.
2) I'm assuming you filed for the extension before the prior visa expired. If was your first extension request, and you have the receipt notice you should have no problems getting the extension approved. Even if you leave the country with the extension pending this should not prevent you from returning as long as you keep all your documentation. A non-frivolous request for an extension usually tolls any accrual of unlawful presence.

if you read my post correctly i am not a visa cheat, i have not gotten any payments from the client that i am working for here. i am a consultant and get my salary from my home country and office. If you know your visas correctly B1/B2 is for tourists and temporary business. If I was cheating on my visa, i wouldnt have gone through the process of applying for an extension, so be careful about your replies.

Thanks for your reply, i did file for extension of my I-94, actually my visa is still ok as it expires in 2010. So my question should have been, "What would happen if I left without getting the results of my I-94 extension?"
I dont know if they will allow me to leave since i dont have my departure card with me, will that have any negative effect as to my next visit?
Don't worry about being able to leave the U.S. I have never heard of anyone, other than a fugitive, being stopped from leaving the country as long as they have a valid passport. While anything is possible with the crazies at the DHS, I simply haven't heard of anyone in your situation being stopped from leaving.
The I-94 should not be a problem either. As long as you have the documents showing that you filed for an extension then there should not be a problem returning. I mean, you will probably have to explain the situation a bit to the immigration officer, but I don't know of any reason they would not let you in.

You should let people alone and look at your mirror if it's not broken already!!!! red neck a$$.
sorry, but you are obviously not a Patriotic American....you are a moronic illegal alien supporter, which means your IQ is less than 80 ( a requirement)...and once again, check our Constitution....there is not a single word in it that says I am required to believe a single word some scamming visa cheat says and, I am entitled to express my opinion of the situation, whether you (a moron) or the OP (a visa cheat) agrees or not....
this is very obvious somesick12, no one needs you here, you love to be insulted, this is very obvious, they urge you to keep your sick openions to yourself, and simply they do not care about your sick brain. why do not you move your A$$ out of here and try to get a real life. I feel so sorry for you pathetic loser.
B1 activity normally does not include labor for hire, except under very specific conditions...and I for one, doubt that the OP is adhering to those rules....the most common way that visa cheats use to work without permission is to coin the phrase 'consultant...'

you are pre-judging me, you don't have the foggiest clue about who i am and what i do and yet you are steadfast on your own opinions and accusations. i just pity you.
simple...you are a visa cheat. If you really had something to support your story, you would have posted it....but you haven't because you can't. Case closed.
