The U.S. Embassy in India has issued a fresh advisory warning Indian travelers against overstaying their visas, emphasizing that even short violations can result in deportation and permanent travel bans. A new Trump-era policy mandates that foreign nationals staying over 30 days must register with federal authorities, or risk cancellation of their visa. The advisory applies to all non-immigrant visas, including student, work, and tourist categories. Travelers are urged to note the “admitted until” date given by CBP at the port of entry—not the visa expiry date.
