If you married a legal alien and decide to separate what happens if his tourist visa expires?

If you married a legal alien and decide to separate, the status of your spouse's tourist visa will be affected. Generally, a tourist visa allows an individual to stay in the United States for a temporary period, usually for leisure or business purposes. It is not meant to be used for establishing permanent residency or employment. Therefore, if your spouse's tourist visa expires while you are separated, he or she will be required to leave the United States or face potential consequences for overstaying their visa. However, in the event of visa expiation while under marriage it might be possible to extend it under the spouse provisions. It is important to seek legal advice if you find yourself in such a situation, as there may be options available depending on your circumstances, such as applying for a change of status or considering other immigration pathways based on your marital status.
