The processing time for Form I-539 varies depending on which service center handles your petition. Most I-539 petitions are handled in the Vermont Service Center, which typically takes about 12 \u2013 16 months\u2014though it can be as short as 9 months for individuals seeking an extension of stay as a U or T nonimmigrant.
As per USCIS guidance, typically they would take about 17 days on average to complete the I-539 biometric process from the day they receive the I-539 application(assuming no re-schedules) form.
However, if you receive notice that your I-539 application has been denied, even if the date on your I-94 has not yet passed, your B visa will become void and you will be required to depart the U.S. immediately.
Once the Form I-539 is approved, the applicant is in a position to extend stay or transition to the new status (from the start date indicated on the Form I-539). Until receiving the approval, the applicant cannot engage in any activities that require being in the new status.
After approval Once the Form I-539 is approved, the applicant is in a position to extend stay or transition to the new status (from the start date indicated on the Form I-539). Until receiving the approval, the applicant cannot engage in any activities that require being in the new status.

The Forms I-539 and I539A are generally used by foreign students, visitors and dependents of nonimmigrant workers (e.g. persons in B-1/2, E-2, H-4, L-2, O-3, P-3) to extend or change their nonimmigrant status, and there are significant changes that must be followed to avoid having USCIS reject these forms.
I-539 petitions sent to the California Service Center take 1 \u2013 5 months to process, while petitions sent to the Nebraska Service Center take 6 \u2013 8 months. Petitions handled by the National Benefits Center have the best processing times with a turnaround time of as little as one week.
Use Form I-539 if you are physically present in the United States and wish to request initial status or change status to a V nonimmigrant, or to request an extension of your current V nonimmigrant status.
It allows you to stay in the United States and ask USCIS to change or extend your status. Important note: If and when you do leave the U.S. after an extension or change of status, you will need another visa in order to return. You will have to stop by a U.S. consulate to pick up that visa.
What Is the Purpose of Form I-539A? I-539A is part of Form I-539. If you are applying for more than one person using your I-539 application, use a separate Form I-539A to provide all of the requested information for each additional applicant listed.
