What if the American visa expires?

Students studying in the United States may encounter visa expiration, but don't panic, you won't be expelled from school immediately. Next, I would like to introduce to you what to do if the visa for American students expires. Please see below for details.

According to American regulations, American students have a 60-day grace period (due to graduation ceremony and other reasons) to stay in the United States legally after the end of the course, and should leave the United States immediately after 60 days (if they have a legal internship in the United States, they can apply for a longer stay).

After the visa expires, you will be punished if you don't leave the United States in accordance with the regulations. Overdue 180 days or more (but less than one year) will be prohibited from returning to the United States within three years after leaving the United States. If you stay in the United States for more than one year or longer, you will be prohibited from returning to the United States within 10 years after leaving the United States. "

If your stay is less than 180 days, you will not be banned from re-entry, but it will remain in your record. When you apply for re-entry, the relevant staff in the United States will use their discretion to refuse your re-entry on the grounds of overstaying.
