GRavi Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 My parents visited us second time during their 10-year B2 visa. I just realized that my parents I-94 expired yesterday (on 07/06/2018), and they left the US on 07/07/2018. Is this considered an overstay? I'm planning to apply for another B2 visa sometime in December 2018, as their current 10 year visa is expiring on November 10, 2018. Thanks. Link to comment
JoeF Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Staying longer than the I-94 allows is an overstay. Link to comment
cap-gap Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I know of a case, during a renewal they were grilled during the interview (drop box was not allowed) on a 4 day accidental overstay similar to yours and eventually denied. Just the current political environment and what not..keep your fingers crossed.. Link to comment
Provence Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 The overstay, as well as fully stretching the i94, may cause issues at the next visa attempt and/or POE. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 As long as they get a new visa in December, this overstay is immaterial. They must mention it and explain to the Officer that they inadvertently overstayed for a day only if asked to detail it. They will have to attend an Interview as opposed to drop box if at all relevant to them. Link to comment

So, a person trying to enter with the same visa after an overstay WILL get denied entry. This has been the law from way before Trump. It for sure is 100% enforced under Trump. Link to comment

You will not be applying for their B2; your parents would be. If they manage to obtain a new visa in December, it'll be obvious the one-day overstay was immaterial. Link to comment
