I dont know anythng about renewing a visitor's visa. Even people that get the visa and use it up. Eventually will still have to apply when it expires.

And what will be your Excuse to them? When you are asked why you never used it? Remember geting a non immigrant visa you always have to prove your intention to come back,  money and  property and wunt be a liability.


Its not a good sign that you were not able to travel once cos you got money problem. They gona see you as a risk.

Few days after Feb 20, 2012

VO: Oh! why didn't you use your previous visa at all?
Tokszeee: em, em. . . . It was because of financial challenges then.
VO: Well, there is no assurance that if I approve a new one now you will either use it or your status changes.
Tokszeee: em, em. . . . No, it won't be like that because I'm . . . . . .
VO: (cuts in) we are through. . . . Next applicant pls.

First of all, bear this in mind: the fact that you were issued a 2 years visa and did not use it will not have any negative effect on your next visa application, rather it gives you an overwhelming advantage in subsequent visa applications. Also, know that the concern of every visa officer is the fear that an applicant is desperate to leave the country by any means. But as for a person who was issued a visa and did not use it, that fear is eliminated.
At this stage, i will advice you not to bother to use this visa now that the expiring day is near because, you might be refused entry as they may consider you posing an immigration risk, and do not make the mistake of letting them know your financial circumstance.
My advice is, allow this visa to run out and apply for another one (only) when your financial status has improved
But may i know the category of visa that you were issued, and what was your intended purpose for visit?

i was issued B class--- Tourism

I was in a similar situation in the past. Issued such visa for 2 years and never used it due to busy schedule.

When i applied for another one, they asked why i had not used the former. I only told them the truth that my work is quite busy but that i would make every effort to visit the US when issued another one. Simple, no long story. Given another visa for 2 years.

Exactly, that is how it goes
