My husband overstayed 1.5yrs his student visa.....

Your husband is not barred from the US unless he received a denial from U.S.C.I.S. or an immigration court. An individual on a student visa is considered under duration of status, which means that there is no specific time set in advance for him/her to leave the country. Such a person is not subject to the 3 or 10 year bars for overstaying 180 days or one year respectively. That being said, he may still encounter problems because of his overstay in obtaining a visa or in entering the country. But he would not know the answer unless he applied to return.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
