Most types of visas are issued for a specific period of time. Upon entering the United States an individual with a valid visa is issued an I-94. An I-94 is a card that is commonly stapled to an individual’s passport and is stamped with a date signifying the date the individual must depart the United States. If you stay in the United States past the expiration the date stamped in the I-94 you face potential negative consequences to returning to the United States in the future or obtaining additional immigration benefits in the future.
It is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney before your visa expires. An immigration attorney can explain the possible consequences of leaving the U.S. An immigration attorney can also explain the process of filing for a change- or extension-of- status before your status expires.
