Can I travel on an expired visa?

No, you cannot travel on an expired visa. In the state of Washington, it is illegal for anyone to remain in the country without authorization. Under immigration law, an expired visa means that your permission to remain in the country legally has been terminated. If you remain in the country without a valid visa, you can be arrested and detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Furthermore, if you attempt to enter the United States with an expired visa, you can be denied entry and your application for citizenship may be adversely affected. The best thing to do in this situation is to apply for a renewal of your visa as soon as possible. In many cases, you can renew a visa before it expires. You can apply for a renewal either in person at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or through mail. The processing time for a visa renewal varies depending on the immigration office handling your application, but it can take several weeks to receive a new visa. If your visa has already expired, then the best course of action is to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can advise you on the best steps to take to renew your visa. An experienced attorney can also provide guidance on the options available to you if you are unable to renew your visa.
