Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

We get a fair number of questions about B-2's, and visitor visas, so I am not sure what you think you're missing. .... We might have gone off at a few tangents, but only ones I think are relevant...

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

Yes, it is good, but if you're only in your mid 50's and in good health maybe it is true. .... But look into what the policy defines as a preexisting condition, as I will guarantee they'll try to...

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

Sorry, but that sounds implausible. I would ask explicitly if that covers you for 6 months in Florida ..... and not believe the answer unless they can show you supporting wording in the actual policy...

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

I seem to recall seeing an "annual" policy previously, but it was designed for frequent travelers, not permanent gypsies, so didn't cover 365 days of travel, only maybe 90 days travel per 365 days of...

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida

Re: Advice for future B2 retirement visa for Florida
