Hi all,

I'm sure this question has been asked before so apologies as I could not find relevant thread in prior forum discussions if my question has already been answered.

Assuming I have a valid B1/B2 Visa issued from a U.S. Consulate overseas, do I still need to do the so called "Registration" with USCIS if I'm in the U.S. beyond 30 days?

 

I guess it's a new rule that went info effect APR 11, 2025 but based on what I read on USCIS website, it seems if we already have a valid B1/B2 visa and previously given our biometrics (fingerprint registration) then no further action (registration) is required, is that correct?

Thank you
