I would like to clarify a few things regarding my situation. You see, on August 9, 2016 I received back my passport with my US Visa on it. And as I saw, it stated that the visa is due to expire on Dec 30, 2016. However, I would like to spend Christmas and New Years in the United States. I want to arrive in the U.S. on Dec 1 and leave January 13. Now having realised that my Visa's validity is only until 30th of December (right before New Years) I now wonder, would it be possible to be given a duration of stay past the expiry date of the visa?   I am asking this because I do not know exactly how to proceed with my travel plans. Should I book past the validity of my visa or should I stick within the given validity dates of my visa? I've seen through research that the duration of stay given in the I-94 by the DOHS officer can surpass the given validity of my visa but I am in doubt and need some assurance.  Taken from:   "Q.14 My visa will expire while I am in the United States. Is there a problem with that? No. You may stay in the U.S. for the period of time and conditions authorized by the Department of Homeland Security officer when you arrived in the U.S., which will be noted on the I-94, even if your visa expires during your stay."  Hoping to get these questions clarified so I can proceed planning my travels soon.

I have a Kuwait visa, obtained from a hotel in Kuwait, with my old passport number. But as the validity of the present passport is expiring within 6 months, I got a new passport with a new passport number. Can I travel with the same visa or do I have to obtain a new visa with my new passport number?

I'm a US citizen and online business owner. I've been in Canada for 141 days, and have a permitted 180 day stay. I want to leave to the USA to basically reset the 180 days. Can I do that? I don't think I can apply for the visa extension because I'm not "working" in their country by their standards (since it's online) and I'm not a student.   So my questions are: 1.) Can I leave and come back?  2.) If so, how long do I need to be gone? 3.) CAN I apply for an extended visa? Although I never needed one to begin with as a US citizen. (&lt;--cant find this answer on the CIC website)

I'm hoping someone may able to answer my question...  I am a dual citizen of US and Canada. I was born in the states but grew up in Canada and like alot of other dual citizens, I hold both Canadian and US passports. I have never lived in the states so I dont have the social security number and other documentations beside my birth certificate and my passport. (The officials in US consulate in Toronto never says its a problem without another US documentations when they know I never live in US)  My US passport has expired in April and I have since tried to make an appointment with the US consulate in Toronto, but the earliest appointment available at the time of booking was June 4th. Here's the problem ... I'm flying to Vegas on Monday and I am now worried if I will be denied entry into the USA with an expired US passport... I know I have to present my US passport at point of entry and cannot use my Canadian passport (which I have used for my last month trip to Asia).  Will the custom deny my entry ? I'm planning to print out my appointment page and present to the officer as well and was planning to go renew my passport in Nevada if i have to... just wonder if someone has similar experience

I applied for an H1B visa and it's been approved. I'm waiting for an appointment. But my passport will expire in 12-13 months. If I apply for a new passport now, and appear for visa stamping with the old and new passport, will there be any issue?   All the visa processing activities were done with my old passport.

My daughter applied at the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia, and they gave her two entries for 20 days (we thought it was for 20 days each entry). She was in Italy 12 days, then went to England for 1 week and flew to Venice to take a 10-day cruise. She couldn't make it because they said she has only 8 remaining days, but she still has a land tour already paid this week.  What can she do? Can she extend the Schengen visa for 12 more days? Right now, she is in Madrid, but next week she has to fly from Barcelona to Paris to start with the tour. What would happen if she decides to take the tour with the expired visa? She is a US permanent resident.

My husband has a Chinese passport and I am a U.S. citizen; I don't need a visa to travel to Schengen countries. I am helping him to apply for a visa.  Our plans are to go to Paris, Italy and Spain, but we haven't nailed down definite dates; the approximate dates are August 18 to September 11. We made an appointment with Spain consulate to apply for the visa. We need to show air flight reservations, I could book it online without any problems.    Since we don't have definite dates, what dates should he put down on the application?  I know that, once they approve you, they give you 90 days, so does it matter what dates I put down on the visa application?   Our appointment at the Spanish Consulate is in a few days.

I need to end my visa waiver period when leaving States to Canada so that I don't exceed the period of 90 days. But form I-94 is no longer a physical card, it's only online.  How do I know or ensure that it will be terminated and will not continue counting the days once I leave to Canada?

My ESTA is valid until Jan 2016. I am holding an Australian passport valid until 2017. I already made one trip to USA in May 2014. I will travel from Australia to USA in Sep 2015.    I have updated the new address where I will stay during the second visit on the web site of US Custom Border Protection. However I am still concerned about the flight details (airlines, flight number etc...) which I could not update.    Why not, or how do I, or need I not?

As a dual citizen, my US passport will expire one day after traveling to the US (May 4th). I will be staying for one week, flying back to Europe afterwards (where I am a resident). Can I enter with my US passport, and leave with my valid EU passport? I'm flying with Icelandair.  Also, in this case I shouldn't try to get an ESTA for my EU passport, right?  PS. When trying to use an emergency procedure to renew my US passport, I am not getting any replies from the US consulate.

I plan to travel to the USA for less than 180 days in 2019. I will return to Canada for Christmas and New Years, then return to the USA for approx 4 months and for sure less than 180 days.  Can I do this? I've seen online 180 per calendar year (which would make this plan ok) and in other places per 12 month rolling period (which would make it not ok.)
