US Embassy in India Warns on Overstaying US Visas
The US Embassy in India is warning people traveling to the U.S. to pay attention to their I-94 form, not just their visa.
The I-94 has a date called the "Admit Until Date."
This is the date by which you need to leave the U.S. If you stay past this date, it's called overstaying, and can cause problems like having your visa taken away or being deported.
The visa itself only tells you the last day you can enter the US, but the I-94 controls how long you can stay.
Make sure you know your "Admit Until Date"!
US Embassy in India issued an advisory about overstaying in the US.
The advisory clarifies the difference between the "Admit Until Date" and visa expiry date.
Overstaying beyond the "Admit Until Date" on the I-94 form can lead to visa revocation and deportation.
The "Admit Until Date" is on the I-94 form, not the visa.
Visa expiry date determines entry, while the I-94 governs the length of stay.
