Since you applied for the extension, that will give you implied status. The other reason to apply earlier rather than later is that it's not hard to make mistakes with these forms and have them returned for whatever reason. If it gets returned then you'll still have a chance to correct your mistakes and resubmit. If it gets returned after you're out of status then that's when the problem happens.Thanks for your reply. It says on the website that processing time for visitor extension is 50days (which I don’t currently have)..... so if it gets to August 27 and my extension hasn’t been approved yet, that shouldn’t have any effect on my pending OWP application by putting me out of status right?
