Under 180 Days
No automatic re-entry ban. Your visa is voided and future applications may be affected — but if you leave now, no time bar applies.

The Three Overstay Thresholds
180-364 Days
A 3-year re-entry ban triggers the moment you leave the US. The clock starts on departure, not when you first overstayed.
365+ Days
A 10-year re-entry ban triggers when you leave. This is the maximum automatic bar under US immigration law.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is "unlawful presence"?
Unlawful presence is time spent in the US after your authorised stay expired — the date on your I-94, not your visa stamp. Once you hit 180 days and leave, bans apply.
Where do I find my I-94 expiry date?
Check i94.cbp.dhs.gov and look for the "Admit Until Date". This is different from the expiry date on your visa stamp — the I-94 date is the one that matters.
Does the ban apply while I'm still in the US?
No. The 3-year or 10-year ban only activates when you leave and try to re-enter. But unlawful presence keeps accumulating every day you stay.
What happens to my visa when I overstay?
It's automatically voided — even after one day. You cannot use that visa to re-enter the US. You'd need to apply for a new visa from your home country.
Does a pending extension application protect me?
Yes — if you filed a timely extension (Form I-539) before your I-94 expired, the unlawful presence clock is paused while it's pending. If denied, the clock starts from the denial date.
Can I fix an overstay without leaving?
Sometimes. If you have a qualifying US citizen or permanent resident spouse or parent, you may be able to adjust status without leaving. An immigration attorney can assess your specific options.
Will an old overstay affect a green card application?
Yes. Any overstay stays on your immigration record. An overstay over 180 days can trigger inadmissibility bars that require a waiver — even if it happened years ago.
