ORIGINAL POSTER

I didn't realize immigration office would be closed today. My US tourist 30 day visa is until June 5. 

I want to extend, but I haven't ever extended before and I'm worried it's so last minute. 

 Should I be panicking and making plans for a visa run? Or am I ok? Advice?

Lighten up.....it’s called light hearted banter. It’s not rude or condescending. Don’t be such a baby. I’m sure Kayley took it as it was intended. Enough said.

You could have just written the second sentence, but for some reason it’s common and acceptable for expats to be rude and condescending to each other, first.

Will I be considered an overstay if I visit the immigration office on the last day of my visa?
