The consequences of overstaying a visa include the possibility of becoming unlawfully present, which can trigger immigration penalties such as inadmissibility to the U.S. Additionally, your visa automatically becomes void, and you may have difficulty obtaining future visas. Overstays can also negatively affect applications for a change of status, adjustment of status, or any other immigration benefits.

Overstaying a visa can lead to serious consequences, including being barred from re-entering the U.S. If you overstay by more than 180 days but less than one year, you may face a three-year reentry ban. Overstaying for one year or more can trigger a ten-year ban. Additionally, your visa may be automatically voided, making future travel to the U.S. more difficult.

Overstaying a visa can severely impact your immigration future. In addition to being barred from re-entry for years, you may be ineligible for certain immigration benefits, including status adjustments and visa renewals. Overstays also increase the likelihood of being denied a visa in the future or being subjected to additional scrutiny when applying for entry into the U.S.
