What do i do if my authorized stay expires?

If your authorized stay ended four days before your scheduled flight departure date, you should have either rescheduled your flight to leave the country on time or put in for an extension of status with U.S.C.I.S. The difficulty with violating status is that you will be dependent upon the good graces of an immigration inspector on your next entry or that of a consular officer if you must reapply for another visa (please note that an overstay automatically invalidates the underlying visa).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.
