winterstorm:Lol. I always wondered if VOs are at anytime tempted to extend extra friendly courtesies to the handsome guys and pretty ladies, inwardly and outwardly, that they meet on a daily basis. It definitely can't be easy sitting in that glass cubicle watching the world pass by without being able to reach through the glass and touch the world when you want to. Like the boy in the bubble. |

NothingDoMe: Very true. I saw the communication between the guy in window 5 and the line Lady. It was really amazing. They are just humans after all. I believe they love to work in Nigeria, which is why they are here. So if they are just doing their job, then the solutions to the B1/B2 visa - as I observed - is traveling to two countries, two years within your application, calmness and a good reason for your visit. |

pls can one travel to the US in Oct with a visa that will expire in Nov and stay till Jan? Will there b an issue? 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by seyewest(m): 10:43am On Jul 12, 2018 |
Chanbaby: You should know that it's risky traveling on a visa with less than 2 months validity and still want to stay till january... you self think am now. My advice is that you should wait till your visa expire and re-apply through dropbox, if you re-apply before expiration of your visa, you might be called for interview. Have a nice day.

seyewest: Haba... Uncle Seye...I think you were a little harsh on her. It is NOT illegal but it is risky. Many have done it and renewed their visas without issues. I also do not agree that if one applies before expiration one will be called for interview. There are many reasons why people renew before time and it is usually not an issue. 3 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by seyewest(m): 11:09am On Jul 12, 2018 |
Fyorgyn: I don't think I'm harsh... it's illegal to stay on an expired visa (Even though she's hoping it will be extended at POE) what if it was not extended? I've renewed 2-3 visas of my colleague (Who visited twice and did not stayed in U.S for more than 12 days) before they expired and they were called for interview so from my own little experience I think it's advisable to wait till after expiration. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Chanbaby: Yes you can. I just got this from the US govts official website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html I must warn you that it is a bit risky because CBPs don't always stamp you in for 6months 1 Like

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Fyorgyn: 11:21am On Jul 12, 2018 |
seyewest: I have put up a link to debunk that. It really is NOT illegal to stay on an expired visa as long as you are within the time stamped at the POE. What is illegal is if you stay beyond the time stamped at POE even with a VALID VISA. As for renewal... A lot of people I know have renewed before expiration and have gotten their visas without much ado. For instance, if I have a conference to attend every August and my visa expires in August, I will begin renewal in June or July to account for any unexpected delays. 5 Likes |

Chanbaby: What? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by seyewest(m): 11:46am On Jul 12, 2018 |
Fyorgyn: You just said it that the CBP's may not always stamp you in for 6 months and what if they refused her entry due to number of months remaining on the visa? Or is it not possible... I tried to reduce risk as much as possible especially for Nigerians (And you know why this is special for Nigerian)... since beginning of this year almost everyone I know who re-apply for renewal of U.S visa via dropbox (Before expiration of their visa) have been invited for interview. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by seyewest(m): 11:49am On Jul 12, 2018 |
Chanbaby: It was not a false conclusion I only advice you based on my experience, What I know is that even if your stay is extended at POE, you maybe invited for interview when next you applied for renewal through dropbox because you need to explain why you stayed a day extra after expiration of your visa in U.S,it's left for you to explain yourself. If I've offended you I'm very sorry. 6 Likes |

seyewest:Lol. You make this interview thing sound ominous. Like a firing squad. It can't be that bad. When your colleagues were invited did the VO ask them why they stayed beyond the validity of the travel Visa? |

Will help out here.... Even if you arrive at the front of a CBP Officer a day to the expiration of your visa, it's not illegal. Just have a reasonable purpose of visit. Our sister that asked this question here today actually wants to go birth in the US. My take on this in the light of recent happenings is that if she has previously used the visa for the purpose for which it was issued, she 1. Can go ahead and make the trip before visa expiration arming herself with the famous "burden of proof". Worse case scenario, she will be stamped in till the date on her ticket's return leg instead of the normal 6 months which of course isn't even bad as long as travel plans made are tight/concrete. 2. Can first be sure of, and prepare her "burden of proof". Do her dropbox application indicating B2 specifically as her reason for application, use the doctor's name for her "contact person in the US", and then hope she won't be called in for an interview, and even if they did, she should go with her prepared "burden of proof" and ace the interview hopefully. 3. Can just give all this up, schedule an interview appointment and of her own accord go in for the interview as one going to birth and state it all as it is, backing this up with her prepared "burden of proof". However, if the expiring visa wasn't issued for birthing and hasn't been used for the purpose of issuance, don't even try doing 1 above, the risks and likely punishments ain't no joke. Number 3 normally is the best thing to do, but times are different. So, if you know you have the capacity to birth in the US but are only afraid of the interview and ain't exactly sure your prepared ""burden of proof" will cut it at the embassy interview, please do number 1, that's if your previous visa has been used appropriately. By this I mean for instance, some people can easily cough out the required $15-20k for birthing in about a month, but their 6-Month bank statement if faced with an interview will mess them up. So, why take the interview risk right now when you are actually not doing anything wrong? Why not just go birth now and prepare your burden of proof for the future renewal? Most important is to be truthful at POE to the CBP Officer, it will be on record! 3 Likes |

NothingDoMe: They asked them why they didn't wait till their visa expired before reapplying and asked them few random questions before re-issuing them the visa. |
