If your I-539 is pending and your I-94 has expired, you were told you are in an authorized period of stay. That is true but it has limits that matter enormously under the current administration.

The standard I-751 removal of conditions process takes two to three years, costs $750 in government fees, and is a significant administrative burden for anyone let alone active duty military members managing deployments and service commitments.
