  1. I am in the USA on a B2 tourism visa. I applied and paid for an extension which is still pending, though I got this note from USCIS: On January 8, 2021, we scheduled you for a biometrics appointment and sent you an appointment notice for Receipt Number -----. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your appointment notice by February 7, 2021, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice.

  2. do I need to file for a second extension or not?

  3. How would I file for a second B2 visa extension? Can it be post-dated? How long for are the extensions granted? Thank you, community!

My initial B2 Visa expired May 16th 2020, I filed and paid for extension of Visa on May 6th 2020 with I-539 form. About biometrics, They wrote On January 8, 2021, and asked if no letter arrives by Feb 7th 2021 I should contact a certain office to which there is a link on the form.

    What date does your B2 status expire? What date did you apply for the extension? What is the date to give your biometrics?

    In addition to the questions asked by @DavidSupportsMonica, it's not possible to answer whether you need to apply for a second extension without knowing when you intend to leave the US. The extensions are typically granted for six months, though they may be shorter.
