Gratitude !

I got confirmation from US Embassy too and they have the same ruling as yours. I will take Company invitation letter, hotel booking, and Bank Statement. Any other specific doc I need to carry ? or any other advice to satisfy immigration officer ?

^{Great Help - much appreciated.}

^{So If I arrive on Sep 9th (as visa expiring on 10th), I am ok as far as Immigration officer allows me to enter with I-94 and I will not be in trouble (unlawful act).}

Thanks Hypons,

From where I can get confirmation of it from official website ? I know you are saying right but I have to show some official source to my office to let them do arrangement for travel.

Appreciate your assistance.

Fellows,

My VISA is expiring on Sep 10, 2016 and I have to travel on Sep 8, 2016 from Muscat, Oman. If applied for visa renew but it will take longer time whereas I have to be in US for Official Training which will end up by the time I will get extension. What is the way out ?

Though I was having US visa 5 yrs but never travelled.

Your views please.

Regards

My US visa is expiring on 10-Sep-2016 so I applied again on Aug 22 ( though I never travelled to US after 1st visa as it took 7 months in AP n by the time i got visa, purpose (official training) to go was already over) . After interview on Aug 22, Consular (Muscat, Oman) kept my passport and told that my application would go again Washington for security processing. He said good chances (though no guranttee) are that I would be getting the visa by 2 weeks as I have to travel during mid Sep to US. I am going on Official Trip from my office

Is anyone know how much time it takes when visa renew is applied? And have been through the same situation?

Does keeping passport an encouraging sign ? Last time (2011), they didn't keep my passport and took 7 months in verification.

I understand it is a normal but still waiting is the worst situation ever.

Same here, I applied on Aug 22 with Muscat (Oman) US Embassy for renewal of my B1/B2 Visa. The fellow said it will go for further verification however, good chances (not guranttee) are that I will get it back before Sep 10 (the time to my travel). 1st time AP took 7 months in my case.

Figures crossed.

hello Forum,

My US visa is expiring on 10-Sep-2016 so I applied again on Aug 22, 2106 ( though I never travelled to US after 1st visa as I got 1st visa after 7 months AP and my training was done by that time) . After interview, Consular kept my passport and told that my application would go for security verification. He said good chances (though no guranttee) are that I would be getting the visa by 2 weeks as I have to travel during mid Sep to US.

Is anyone know how much time it takes when visa renew is applied? And have been through the same situation?

Does keeping passport is a positive sign to get the visa in 1-2 weeks ?

your views welcome please.
