Re: How long to enter the US with B2 visa?

How long to enter the US with B2 visa?

From the date a B2 visitor visa is issued, how long does one have enter the US? Is it 3 months? I think it is 6 months?

It is a multiple entry visa, with no annotation.

Re: US passport for UK travel?

You're right, but I also thought for travel purposes they did NOT have an open border with the rest of the EU/Schengen countries. They'd let me in due to my US passport, and not because I was already...

Re: Consulate Interview scheduled, but now I-485 filed

I guess the case is not yet outside the normal I-485 processing window, so should wait for a couple more weeks?

I presume an infopass appointment anytime can't hurt anything?
