What if I overstayed my visa?

Are you currently facing the challenge of overstaying your visa in the United States? It is a situation that can become overwhelming, given its potential legal consequences. However, rest assured that ALG Lawyers is here to assist you throughout this complex process with clarity and expertise.

Understanding Visa Overstays


You need to carefully review the dates of your approved stay and ensure adherence to the procedures. Failing to do so will result in being considered out of status. Overstaying can occur due to various reasons such as delays, misunderstandings, or unforeseen circumstances. Remaining beyond the authorized period, as determined by the Department of Homeland Security, and being out of status in the U.S., constitutes a breach of U.S. immigration laws.

This may lead to ineligibility for future visa applications and return visits to the U.S. If you exceed the end date of your approved stay, as specified by a CBP officer at a port-of-entry or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), your visa will typically be automatically invalidated or revoked.
