Overview

  • The embassy clarified that admission length is set by the Form I-94 Admit Until Date, listed as “D/S” for students and exchange visitors and as a specific end date for other visa types.
  • It reminds visitors to depart by 11:59 p.m. ET on the Admit Until Date or to file an extension, status change or adjustment application with USCIS.
  • Travelers can retrieve their most recent I-94 online via the CBP website’s “Get Most Recent I-94/I-95” feature or through the CBP Link mobile app.
  • Overstaying can trigger visa revocation, deportation and future ineligibility for U.S. visas.
  • The advisory complements earlier posts emphasizing that illegal entry will prompt return or criminal charges and reflects a broader U.S. enforcement posture in cooperation with global partners.
