Overview
- The embassy directed travelers to retrieve their most recent I-94 through the CBP website’s “Get Most Recent I-94/I-95” tool or the CBP Link mobile app.
- Visitors were told to depart by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date listed on their record or file a timely request with USCIS to extend, change or adjust status.
- For many F-1 students and J-1 exchange visitors, the I-94 lists “D/S,” indicating admission lasts while status is maintained rather than until a fixed date.
- The post clarified that the visa’s expiration controls the last day it can be used for entry, not the length of stay after admission.
- The message followed earlier embassy posts this month emphasizing accountability for unlawful entry, including warnings of returns or criminal charges.
