Visa Requirement for British Commonwealth Citizens

[vault]

All,

I just got off the phone after talking to the US Consulate in Toronto. The consular officer/staff advised me that if one intends to enter the US, they need to have a Valid Visa stamp in their passport. It dosen't matter if you are on F-1, H-1B, H-4.

Also the Automatic Revalidation of VISA is no good!! Also it is currently taking anywhere from 3-4 weeks to get an appointment.

Q for Vault

vault,

By saying, “Automatic Visa Revalidation is no good” Do you mean after March 17th or right now?


Sincerely,

RamFan

Also I was thinking about what if a Canadian PR goes to US for a few days say on 16 March and then returns on 20th march, being out of Visa for 3 days...Should you come back before March 17th or go after March 17th...

Mercury,

If you enter the US before March 17th you will be admitted under the old rules/law. I don't forsee any problems.
