After moving from Turkey to Utah on a temporary work visa, I’ve started thinking about making my stay longer. If I decide to remain in the U.S. beyond my visa’s expiration, what legal options or next steps should I consider?

You can explore extending your current work visa or switching to another category. Timing your application before expiration is crucial.

If you fear returning to Turkey due to persecution, you may explore asylum or other humanitarian options—though these require strong evidence and legal support.

If your employer is willing, they can sponsor you for a longer-term visa like the H-1B. Alternatively, some individuals apply for a green card through employment or family. Always consult an immigration professional before making decisions.

Overstaying without filing an extension could harm your immigration record. Even a short overstay may affect future applications. Filing early shows intent to comply with U.S. laws. Be proactive and gather the right documentation before your visa runs out.
