Hi,
I have a quick question regarding my friend's B1/B2 visa renewal. We believe she may qualify for the interview waiver. She currently holds a 10-year multiple-entry B1/B2 visa issued in 2014, which is about to expire.
It s important to note that she has never used this B1/B2 visa to enter the U.S. However, she did travel to the U.S. once under a J1 visa in 2019 for a summer work program, and that was her only visit to the U.S. so far.
While completing the DS-160 form, there's a question under "Previous U.S. Visas" asking:
"Date Last Visa Was Issued?"
We re unsure whether to list the B1/B2 visa from 2014 or the J1 visa from 2019, especially since she is applying to renew the B1/B2 and the following question asks if she is applying for the same type of visa.
Could you clarify which date should be entered in that field?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
