Overstayed on B1 Visa: Assessing the Impact on F1 Visa Prospects and the Revocation Conundrum
Unfortunately, overstaying your B1 visa by 2 days can significantly impact your chances of obtaining an F1 visa, but it's difficult to give a precise percentage without considering all the circumstances. Here's a breakdown of the factors that will influence your case:
Negative factors:
- Overstaying:ย Any violation of visa terms is a serious concern for immigration officials. Even a short overstay can raise doubts about your adherence to immigration laws and your intent to abide by the terms of the F1 visa.
- B1 visa revocation:ย The revocation of your B1 visa further strengthens the impression that you may not be a reliable visa holder.
Positive factors:
- Length of overstay:ย A 2-day overstay is shorter than many others, and you may be able to explain the reason for the overstay convincingly.
- No other legal issues:ย Your clean legal record in the country can be a positive factor in your favor.
- Strong F1 application:ย A well-prepared F1 application with strong academic credentials, acceptance to a reputable university, and clear financial evidence can demonstrate your genuine intention to study in the US.
