Most travelers are uncertain whether to follow the expiration date of their B1/B2 visa or the I-94 expiration date. In this case, the visa expires on August 6, but the I-94 form, received at entry, permits stay to September 6.
Here’s the key point: your I-94 date establishes how long you can remain in the U.S., not your visa expiration date. The visa is for the purpose of coming in, while the I-94 regulates how long you are allowed to be in the country. So, in this instance, you can remain until September 6, according to your I-94.
But, remaining after the I-94 date can lead to overstaying, which may have severe implications, such as future visa problems. Always make sure you depart before the I-94 ends to prevent issues.
For clarity purposes, it’s always best to save a copy of your I-94 from the CBP website since it’s your official document of authorized stay. That’s the date you need to pay attention to, not the visa expiration.
