More details to this question:
I was admitted to the states with a B2 status, and my I-94 is expiring in June. And I'm planning to change it to a B1. My questions are: 1. Can I change AND extend at the same? What will be the cost? What form do I submit? 2. When is the best time to submit the application/form? Thank you in advance!

You can change and extend your visitor status from B-2 to B-1 by filing form I-539 with USCIS and paying the fee of $290. In addition, you should provide a written explanation as to why you need to change and extend your status. The maximum time that you can legally stay in the US as a visitor is 1 year. The application should be submitted 90 days or at least before your status expires.
