Every nonimmigrant admitted into the United States is issued an I-94 Form reflecting their period of authorized admission. It is the date of authorized admission on the I-94 Form that determines how long you are legally authorized to stay within the United States—it is NOT the expiration date on your visa.
However, a person’s nonimmigrant status can be terminated due to events outside their control. For example, a temporary worker under H-1B status that is fired from his or her job before their period of authorized admission ends is given a grace period of sixty (60) days to find another job or to change/adjust status. After sixty (60) days, that person will begin accruing unlawful presence in the United States. If you find yourself in this situation, it is extremely important to seek legal advice from an experienced immigration attorney who can help explore suitable options for you and your family before it is too late.
The first step to take control of your situation is to familiarize yourself with the period of authorized admission listed on your I-94 Form.
