U.S. Embassy in India warns people staying beyond their authorised period to face deportation or ban on travelling to U.S.

U.S. Embassy warns of deportation for overstaying visas, court blocks Trump admin from deporting migrants without notice.

The U.S. Embassy in India on Saturday (May 17, 2025) warned that people who stay in the U.S. beyond their authorised period of stay will face deportation or a permanent ban on travelling to the U.S. in the future.

In a post shared on X, the U.S. Embassy in India stated, “If you remain in the United States beyond your authorized period of stay, you could be deported and could face a permanent ban on traveling to the United States in the future.”

On Friday, a Federal Appeals court refused to allow the Trump administration to restart deporting migrants to nations other than their own without prior notice or the opportunity to seek protection from persecution or torture, CNN reported.

The U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s request to block a lower court decision halting the policy. The court’s decision comes amid rising concerns over reported plans to send migrants to Libya, a country criticised for the mistreatment of detainees and ongoing civil unrest.

The appellate panel voiced several “concerns” about letting the government resume the policy, among them “the irreparable harm that will result from wrongful removals in this context.” Earlier in March, the U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy stopped the Trump administration from deporting migrants to nations other than their own without prior written notice and a chance to contest the removal from the U.S., CNN reported.

Earlier in April, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reminded all foreign nationals present in the country for over 30 days that the deadline to register under the Alien Registration Act is April 11.

The law requires all foreign nationals in the United States for more than 30 days to register with the federal government. Failure to register is considered a crime, punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both.
