Your dates

Two things worth working out precisely, each with the rule it comes from and the government page that rule was read at.

This page keeps nothing. The dates you type stay in this browser, the working-out happens on your own device, and there is no address here for them to be sent to. Close the tab and there is no record you were here — not an account, not a row, nothing to delete later.

After a job ends: the 60 days

The sum is the easy half. What people get wrong is which day starts it — the last day of work, the last day of pay and the date on the letter are routinely three different days.

The last day of work. Severance, a payout of unused leave and continued health cover do not move this date.

From the record at i94.cbp.dhs.gov. Leave it blank if you have not looked it up.

Nothing to work out yet

  • The last day of employment — the last day of work, rather than the last day of pay.

Three documents, three different jobs

The approval notice is the one that looks official and the visa is the one that looks urgent. Neither is the record of how long the admission runs.

i94.cbp.dhs.gov

The approval notice, if there is one.

The stamp in the passport, if there is one.

What this does not know

  • The I-94 admit-until date. This is the one that records how long the admission runs, and it is the one worth looking up first — the record is at i94.cbp.dhs.gov.
  • The validity end date on the I-797 approval notice, if there is a petition behind this status.
  • The expiry date printed on the visa in the passport, if there is one.

These are dates the rules produce from what you typed. Whether a particular rule applies to you turns on things this page cannot see — what has been filed, what an employer has withdrawn, whether a grace period has already been used — so it works out the dates and stops there.

Planning a trip? The conditions that govern leaving and re-entering are on their own page. Something changing soon? What changed carries the dated ones.
