Hi house. I have had a multiple. Entry american visa which was issued to me in december last year and it lasts for 2years. I have not used it yet because i have not seen the need to. I heard if you dont use it after 6months of issue that it gets invalid or something ridiculous. How true is this?


Thanks

If there is one thing I can ask God for,it will be to be very successful in this country.I detest all these Western countries and their polices.

the 6 month thing is not true. It only applies when your passport has been stamped on entry. You are only allowed a maximum of 6 months to be in the US. Mine was issued october last year and I only made use of it last week. I dint have the need to either, I jst had to cos every one kept telling me I wont hav chances of getting visas again if it is not used at least once.

What was the motivation to get the visa in the first place, if you had no need for it?

I cant remember where I stated I didnt have need of it.

Maybe I'm misreading it, but I was going off the bold part of your comment below:

I heard you have to use it before it expires.

I just analyzed you medically from the trash you just wrote and the result is out.....Low IQ,Low self esteem,poverty stricken and other ailments too numerous to mention.

VERDICT
You should be in chains in a rehab home.

just stumbled on this lol. Laughing lyk mad

@redcliff, u have nothing to worry about. You are given 2 years visa for you to use at any time within your visa time. There is no rule as in the time to utilize it. My only advise is try to use it atleast before your last 6 months of your visa time. If you are coming on grounds of b2, atleast 6 months is required because you wouldn't get beyond 6 months stamp from the cbp officer, if is b1 grounds them 3 months. Your best bet is atleast 6 months before expiration.

@messilistic, there is no rule or law thats states you wouldn't be given visa again if you do not utilize it. The problem there is the burden to convince the vo, the reasons why you did not use.

The u.s state department is the department that constitutes immigration and visa rules in United States. They don't have a law or penalty that states if you do not use your visa, you wouldn't be given another. USCIS that is part of Home Land Security, do not have such rules either.This are all speculation from people, or people who could not give real time reasons why they could not use their visa, go about saying such.

Having said all these above, the conditions for giving you visa is for you to use it because you gave the vo officer reasons to issue you visa. It is always advisable, however to utilize your visa. However, those reasons you gave can always change giving you grounds for not using it.

The above statement is not a legal counseling but solely for the purposes of this forum. If you need any legal counseling, you have to seek for an attorney.

Good Luck.
