Your Visa Expired – Do You Have to Leave the U.S.?
For Individuals and Families | 07.29.25
The word “visa” is commonly used to refer to two different things: the visa status and the visa stamp of a nonimmigrant (temporary visitor or resident) in the U.S. In early July of 2025, the Trump administration changed the Visa Reciprocity Schedule, reducing the validity period of visa stamps for many countries. Since a growing number of nonimmigrants’ visa stamps will now expire earlier than their status, it is more important than ever to understand the differences between the two.
