Answer
Overstaying is a serious violation with consequences:
- Less than 180 days: May be barred from re-entry for 3 years
- More than 180 days: May be barred for 10 years
- Future visa applications will be difficult
- May affect other immigration benefits
Always check your I-94 online and leave before expiration. If you need to extend, file Form I-539 before expiration.
