Visa Renewal Schedule Calculator — How It Works

Enter your visa expiry date and type to get a recommended renewal start date and a preparation timeline. Different visa types have different processing times — work visas typically need 6 months, student visas 3 months. Always verify current processing times on USCIS.gov.

Key Note: Visa Stamp vs. Authorized Stay

Your visa stamp is different from your authorized period of stay (shown on your I-94). The I-94 controls when you must leave or renew — not the visa stamp date. An expired visa stamp doesn't mean you're out of status if your I-94 is still valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I check my I-94 authorized stay?

Visit i94.cbp.dhs.gov to view your official I-94 record and authorized period of admission. This is the authoritative source for your legal stay period.

Can I travel internationally while my renewal is pending?

Generally, traveling outside the US while an extension is pending will abandon the application. Consult your attorney before any travel if a petition is pending.
