==I-94 过期后离开美国==
按照 INA 222(g) Nonimmigrant visa void at conclusion of authorized period of stay
(1) In the case of an alien who has been admitted on the basis of a nonimmigrant visa and remained in the United States beyond the period of '''stay authorized by the Attorney General''', such visa shall be void beginning after the conclusion of such period of stay.
(2) An alien described in paragraph (1) shall be ineligible to be readmitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant, except-
(A) on the basis of a visa (other than the visa described in paragraph (1)) issued in a consular office located in the country of the alien's nationality (or, if there is no office in such country, in such other consular office as the Secretary of State shall specify); or
(B) where extraordinary circumstances are found by the Secretary of State to exist.
如果在超过Authorized Stay后离开美国,则签证在离开美国后注销。 注意这里用的是Authorized Stay,而不是Out of Status。只要你交了延期申请且pending,都是authorized stay。只有延期被拒,或者批准了但你在批准的日期之后还留在美国且没有交新申请,才算beyond authorized stay,这样才会 签证 注销。 注销后,必须回护照签发国重新签证,而不能去第三国。这里主要是 防止有 保证你的“非移民倾向”能够被母国的美国领事馆好好审核,因为非母国的领事官员不一定知道当地的具体情况,可能做出错误的批准。这样,这些 人 也就不能 跑去墨西哥/加拿大签 证 美签 ,转一圈就转身回来。
关于逾期导致签证被撤销,国务院的外交手册 Foreign Affairs Manual 在第9章 Visas 里面有提到:
(a) The applicant files a timely application for extension of stay or for a change of status; and
(b) The application is approved. In addition, if an applicant departs after the date on the Form I-94 passes, but '''before their application for extension or change of status has been decided by USCIS''', they must be subject to a blanket exemption from INA 222(g), if the application was filed in a "timely manner" and is "nonfrivolous" in nature. You may consider an application nonfrivolous if it is not, on its face, a groundless excuse for the applicant to remain in the United States to engage in activities incompatible with their status. Posts may be satisfied that an applicant filed in a timely manner using evidence such as a record in USCIS Person Centric Query Service (PCQS) or the dated receipt or canceled check from USCIS for the payment of the application fee to extend or change status together with evidence of the expiration of the applicant's legal status.
9 FAM 302.1-9(B)(6) 更是提供了一个表格,Summary of INA 222(g) Scenarios,总结了各种情况,以便理解。其中,Subject to 222(g)指这种情况需要取消签证。Not subject to则 不受222(g)影响。加粗的那条就是最常见的:暗示提交延期申请,出结果之前离开了美国, 不受222(g)影响。
