Post-visa support in the context of maintaining valid status in the U.S. refers to the assistance provided to individuals who are already in the U.S. on a visa, ensuring they stay in compliance with immigration laws and maintain their legal status throughout their stay. This support typically includes:

• Status Monitoring: Visa holders are informed about the duration of their stay, required reporting dates, and any deadlines for status extensions or renewals.
• Work Regulations: Guidance on adhering to work parameters tied to specific visa types, and the conditions for working under specific visa categories like H-1B or F-1.
• Extension and Change of Status: Assistance with the process of applying for visa extensions, changes in visa categories (e.g., from student to work visa), or adjustments in status (e.g., transitioning to permanent residency).
• Legal and Compliance Advice: Legal support to ensure individuals do not inadvertently violate immigration laws, such as overstaying their visa or engaging in unauthorized work.
• Documentation Assistance: Help in maintaining the required documentation, including ensuring the accuracy of I-20 (for students) or I-797 (for workers) forms, which are critical to maintaining valid status.
• Travel Guidance: Advice on traveling in and out of the U.S., as leaving the country while on certain visas can affect one’s status.

This support is crucial to prevent lapses in legal status, which can lead to serious consequences, including deportation or future entry restrictions.
