The US Embassy in India has issued a public warning to Indians about possible deportation or a permanent ban from traveling to the United States if they are found overstaying their authorized period of stay.
In a statement posted on X, the embassy said, “If you remain in the United States beyond your authorized period of stay, you could be deported and could face a permanent ban on traveling to the United States in the future.”
The warning/advisory will be applicable to all Indian citizens who are traveling to US on their various time-bound visas like work visas, student visas, tourist visas which have their own authorised period of stay. The advisory is aimed as a reminder for travellers to the US on various non-immigrant visas to strictly adhere to the validity period granted at the time they enter the US by the Immigration authorities.
Warning amid Trump's actions on immigration
The warning comes amid heightened immigration enforcement actions under the Trump administration. Previously, a US federal appeals court rejected a request by the administration to resume deporting migrants to third countries without prior notice or an opportunity to seek protection.
The court highlighted concerns about “irreparable harm” that could result from such removals. The ruling upholds an earlier decision by US District Judge Brian Murphy in March, which temporarily blocked the government from carrying out these deportations without written notice and due process.
Separately, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in April, reminded foreign nationals who have been in the U.S. for over 30 days that they are required to register under the Alien Registration Act.
The law mandates that all non-citizens staying beyond 30 days must register with federal authorities. Failure to comply can result in criminal charges, fines, or imprisonment.
These developments follow Executive Order 14159, signed by President Donald Trump on January 20. The order, titled Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directs the Department of Homeland Security to tighten enforcement of existing immigration laws, including those related to visa overstays and alien registration.
