If you break 180 days, you open the door for trouble down the road. Anyone in a bad mood, USCIS, NVC, Embassy, now has an excuse to slow or stop your process, IMO.

Leave early as possible, you don't want the co at the embassy grilling you with all these question about overstay even if it is less than 180 days of overstay, they can't deny you a visa for that though but you don't want that tension in your mind. So leave asap. I overstayed by 3 months and was denied entry and the custom officer told me the only way i could cross the border is filing a I-130 and getting it approved because i was married and did not know how long Canadian's could stay in the US. so best advice leave before the 180th day because you will have problem crossing with a visitor's pass. Listen to Trailmix don't overstay even for a day, you would have to wait until you get your K1 approved from the embassy. I have to wait until my Cr-1 is approved until i could cross, can't cross with visitor's pass. It sucks but it my mistake that i was unaware of the immigration law, so listen to these folks they are giving u good advice from experience.

wish u all the best

I have to agree with everyone else. No one besides you is going to look at this and say "it was only 3 days." They are going to see you had 180 days to make plans and you knew when the date was coming. It's not worth the trouble you are causing yourself later on down the road to overstay even 1 day. And since they have ultimate control, if someone isn't having a good day, they can deny, slow, or cause any kind of dilemma for you they want...all over "just 3 days."

Leave immediately, stay within the 180 days, since you are flying. No way to just drive back, eh?

[dessndave 3]

you knew how long you had. you booked flight.

how did you make mistake of few days?

before i make my flights to pi i count the days over and over before purchasing a ticket.

and still short change myself by a day

and yes they do pay attention to it usually.

sometimes they overlook overstays especially if you have valid reason.

But better to not overstay it is risking alot.

friends experience on overstay on work visa.

they even gave another work visa within 5 months time. for 1month overstay.

simple mistake 11/10 day month instead of 10/11 month day.

and yes that is what it was. they had no issues at airports.

But it can risk everything.

Ok now i'm confused, who would pull him aside and check his stuff and grill him?

I'm not sure about the U.S./Canadian border, but at the Mexican border, CBP can search, question, and detain (send to "secondary inspection") any outbound traffic (vehicular, we're talking) that they choose to. This is apparently part of the "Border Search exception" to the Fourth Amendment, which is a shell now, and just a Supreme Court decision or two away from becoming nothing but an inkblot. I would imagine that, in general, exiting at the Canadian border is far easier than it is at the Mexican border. The OP is apparently flying, so things may be easier... but do NOT overstay!

They can deny you for anything they want to, up to and including the color of your shoes. What you mean to say is that an overstay of less than 180 days won't result in an automatic denial without a waver.

[wmtc 0]

An overstay of more than 180 days has a 3yr ban

An overstay of more than 1 yr has a 10 yr ban

If overstay less than 180 days has no ban and does not require a waiver, but you could lose your vwp and will have hard time coming in to the state with an visitor's visa, may even get denied at entry.

If I'm wrong someone correct me

thanks!
