Dear [INS Officer's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to request an extension of my U.S. visa, which is set to expire on [visa expiration date]. I am currently residing in Alaska, a state known for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unique cultural heritage. Alaska is the largest state in the United States and is located in the extreme northwest of the country. Its diverse ecosystem encompasses mountains, glaciers, forests, and coastline, offering residents and visitors unrivaled opportunities for outdoor adventures such as hiking, fishing, kayaking, and wildlife spotting. Whether exploring the majestic Denali National Park, observing the northern lights in Fairbanks, or navigating the stunning Inside Passage, Alaska never fails to captivate the hearts of those who venture here. As an avid lover of nature and adventure, Alaska has become my second home, and I am grateful for the experiences and memories I have made during my stay. In light of the ongoing pandemic and its impact on international travel, I kindly request an extension of my U.S. visa. Due to unforeseen circumstances, including travel restrictions and flight cancellations, it has become impossible for me to return to my home country within the original visa duration. I assure you that my intent in extending my stay in the United States is neither to violate any laws nor to overstay my visa. During my time in Alaska, I have immersed myself in the local community, formed deep friendships, and actively contributed to the society through volunteering opportunities. I have also established professional ties by working closely with organizations that align with my area of expertise. Extending my stay would allow me to continue these meaningful relationships, contribute to the local economy, and foster cultural exchange. I am fully aware of the legal obligations associated with extending my visa, and I assure you that I will strictly adhere to all immigration laws and regulations. Enclosed with this letter, please find the necessary documentation, including my passport, current visa, and any other supporting materials, to support my request for an extension. I understand that a decision regarding my request will be made based on the merits of my case and the current immigration policies in effect. I sincerely hope that the INS will grant me the extension, enabling me to further explore the wonders of Alaska, contribute to the community, and continue building meaningful relationships. Thank you for considering my request. I would be grateful for any updates or additional information required to facilitate the extension process. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [contact information] if you need any further clarification. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
