Before your current visa expire start taking steps not to secure the extension. Get the services of a qualified immigration lawyer so he can file the paperwork for you. To get an extension you need to show the immigration people why it is necessary for you to stay in this country.

To extend your visa, you must apply to the Consulate or Embassy that granted the visa in the first place. Contact that entity for details of their procedure.
