Tourist Visa Validity
Question details
I am a holder of a US tourist Visa which will expire on July of 2011. I will visit the US on March 2011 to attend a wedding. If I go I will only have 4 months visa validity. Can I still use it with less than 6 months valid stay? I will stay only for 2 months the most.
Visa validity is required only to enter USA, not to stay. The stay period is determined by CBP (at the airport) when you enter USA. The stay is noted on a document called an I-94 (Arrival Departure Record). Even if the visa expires, you can stay till the end of your I-94.
Visitor visa - passport in maiden name
Question details
My cousin has invited me to his wedding, and I got married October 31 2009. The thing is this - my current passport is not in my married name, can I just apply for the visitors visa with my current passport and bring my marriage certificate as proof of marriage? My current passport will be expiring in 2012.
There is no US law (that I can think of) requiring you to change your passport right away. I think you can travel. But eventually you should get it all corrected. Change to married name is not required, but I think the passport should accurately reflect marital status.
I would like to thank and congratulate for great work done by Mr. Khanna and team. My father stays in USA on B2 visa and as per guideline he cannot stay here for more than 6 months in a financial year. My father is having ill health and my mother is no more. I am completely responsible to take care of him. With the help of Mr. Khanna, We applied B2 Visa extension for my father second time and it got approved again. Otherwise, we all would have to go back to India. Peace of mind. I have received the approval notice. I really appreciate friendly and professional behavior of all team member I had interaction with. Whenever I had any query, it was resolved immediately. I strongly recommend Mr. Khanna for all immigration related matters. Thanks Again.
