Good day All, My friend was issued a 2 years multi-entry visa to the U.S on the basis of his intention to attend a conference in May but he can no longer attend the conference but intends to go to the U.S in July i.e. two months after the conference. What are the consequences of him not going to U.S for the conference since it was on that basis he was given the visa. Thank you. |

'Am not sure if the US Embassy would issue anyone a 2yr Visa to attend a Conference, except he was issued with a visiting/business B1/B2 2yr Visa. As far as I know if the conference is his reason for going to US, he might get a Visa for the period of the conference, but usually annotated. Meaning specific purpose of travel, place and time of event is printed at the bottom of visa. e.g. "to attend a conference on agriculture from May 4 to June 10, 2010 in Baltimore, MD". And usually the visa is only valid for the duration of the conference. If his Visa is not annotated, and he missed the conference, nobody would ever know that, would they? He would have no problems entering. But if his Visa is annotated, and he missed the conference, then his reason for the Visa application no longer exists! |

He got a 2-year visa to the US based on the conference, not in Nigeria but in United Kingdom consulate, London. I want to know if they could send him back on arrival at US airport for not coming to the US on the basis of his visa confirmation, since he stated he was coming to the US for the conference. |

sleekender: US Consulate, London, you mean. Does he have a Nigerian passport? Is his Visa annotated? |

The answer is nobody knows because none of us works for the immigration at the airport in U.S. I know that if those immigration officers choose, they could call the company that is supposed to hold the confrence to confirm and when they find out that it is past it might screw him |

wrong, as long as his visa is not annotated like coolier said, then he was deemed to have qualified for an NIV visa on current criteteria but not solely based on the conference. Meaning they disregarded the conference and issued him with a visiting visa which he can use at will. What they might do is that they may restrict his visa to B1 only which means nothing as long as he does not go for medical treatment |
