As long as you leave before 05/03/2020.

You can even travel in February. They will only grant you entry for whatever time period is left on your visa. Also, be prepared to give more explanation at the POE.

ozymes:
Is this the latest on the duration of stay?

Broadenyourhori:


Whatever time he enters US before the expiration of his visa, they will only stamp is passport and write the date he must leave the US - Latest 05/03/2020. Normally, someone will be granted 6 months stay each time they enter the US but if you have less than 6 months, you will be granted till the last day on your visa.

The risk is that, they may want to see your return ticket and get more information about you or your host just in case you decide to MIA.

The rule changed?

Yes sir, you are wrong. Clinical rotations are covered under the B1/B2 visa category ,it is stated in the foreign affairs manual,i posted the clause in a previous post. However, the H and J visas are for residents( already qualified doctors) who are paid for the job. I will be taking an elective at the school as I am still a bona fide student,hence the residency

sugah:

This isn't correct.
A visa validity....when you can present yourself at the border of the country
Length of stay....is solely at the discretion of the CBP officer
I have presented at less than a month to the expiration of my Visa and still got stamped in for 6months..

Broadenyourhori:


So what is the rule?

Hello house,pls my visa will expire by March 5 2020, can I travel with it in January?

Hello Ferdinand,
I feel your plight. Understand that there would be several opinions on what you did wrong etc.
Personally, I don’t think you violated your visa and you were well within the limits of your visa. I think it’s unfortunate that getting a visa from Nigeria currently is tough.
I’m just wondering whether or not your previous electives were paid electives or unpaid. Going forward, I think you a get paid elective which isn’t hard to get before applying.
I would also suggest applying from Caribbean as your chances might be better there.
Lastly, I wish you success in your future application and completion of your studies. It’s a great career and you’ll enjoy it.

Bluefin:


This is a double edged question.
Is your visa valid for travel?-Yes till March 5
Is your passport valid for travel?- No, to depart your airport of origin your passport needs to be at least 6 months into the future.

Please nobody should come here and argue about this. That is the first thing your check in agent will verify. I have a lot of friends whose vacation plans have been ruined for this reason.

Please Note: Travel for the purpose of attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in an annual business/academic/professional conference, or enjoying last-minute tourism does not qualify for emergency appointments. For such travel, please schedule regular visa appointment well in advance.

skdfu747:


Your parents were denied just few days ago not even a month ago and you want to book an emergency.
You are playing with fire.
At the point of selecting emergency appointment option the embassy has a boldly written warning regarding the type of applicants that should select emergency option.
Emergency is not for every visa applicant and it can defiantly not be used for graduation ceremony.
Ignorance is not an excuse. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-emergencyappointment.html

Damilare5882:
I don’t know that it’s has gotten to the point that even parents that paid huge amount to give thier kids a better education don’t deserve the happy moment of being with their child on his or her graduation ceremony! All is well !

Damilare5882:
oh I see ,so that’s how she’s gonna miss her only son’s graduation.. that’s awesome!!!!! Great !!

skdfu747:


Why are you being so emotional about the situation?
Can’t you see that emergency appointment is a limited slot mostly for real life and death situation?
Don’t you know that by selecting emergency appointment you might have taken a slot meant for an applicant that needs urgent medical attention with maybe just few hours to live?
Don’t be selfish.

tunddy:

RedCandy:
