Hello,

I recently applied for and was granted a 3 year, Multiple entry B2 visa. During the interview I told the Consular Officer that I was planning on travel from september 1st to the 15th. There are no annotations on the visa and due to a last minuet change in plans I am wondering it I can now change my travel dates to extend until November. I have the adequate documentation to prove to the IO at the POE that I have strong ties to my country. Is it possible to change my travel dates or would this create some sort of misrepresentation between my CO and IO statements?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

You have a 3 year multiple entry visa, so no you do not need to know all your future travel plans now.

your user profile states you had your naturalization approved. why do you need a tourist visa ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

But if i recently declared to the Consular officer that I would be traveling for a set amount of days (15 days) , then a month later tell the IO at POE a completely different time frame (70 days).... is that grounds for a possible problem?

Sorry for the confusion, but there was no B2 visa status option in the profile, so I just arbitrarily selected one. I went back and fixed that by selecting "other". I am a Nicaraguan Citizen with a B2 visa and a US Citizen Spouse.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. For some reason I was under the impression that at POE the IO officer might think that the last minute change in plans as "material misrepresentation" in accordance with my statements (as far as travel dates) to the Consular officer.

Applicants are known to present a shorter window of travel when applying for a B visa, and end up with different dates to extended stays once visa is issued. Happens all the time, no issue here.

Thanks! Your response is greatly appreciated. I had posted this question on 3 other visa forums and VisaJourny members were the ONLY ones to respond to my question (as newbie as it may be). Great forum with great members!
