1. What is the USCIS Extension Calculation?

The USCIS extension calculation determines the extension period for immigration status by adding 540 days to the original filing date. This is commonly used for various immigration benefit applications and petitions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

\[ Extension = Filing Date + 540 \text{ days} \]

Where:

\( Filing Date \) — The original date when the application or petition was filed with USCIS
\( 540 \text{ days} \) — Standard extension period added to the filing date
