What are the Penalties for overstaying your tourist visa in US?

In: Immigration, Extradition [Edit categories]

Answer:

The penalties are that you are subject to arrest and deportation at any time. Your visa would be cancelled (if caught) and it will be difficult to get another visa/overstay waiver. Finally, unless you marry a US citizen, you cannot adjust your status while you are an overstay.
