Over 14,000 of the 8.8 lakh Indians on visitors or business visas overstayed in the US last year, according to the official figures shared. In 2014, of the 7.6 lakhs Indians who were supposed to leave the country before the expiry of their B1-B-2 visas, 11,653 overstayed in the US, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
Overstaying means a non-immigrant who was lawfully admitted to the US for an authorised period but stayed or remains in the country beyond his or her lawful admission period.
According to the ‘Entry/Exit Overstay Report’ released by the Department of Homeland Security, in fiscal 2015, of the nearly 45 million non-immigrant visitor admissions through air or sea ports of entry that were expected to depart in FY 2015, 527,127 individuals overstayed their admission for a total overstay rate of 1.17 per cent.
In other words, 98.83% had left the US on time and abided by the terms of their admission, the report said.
