Default Can you renew a B2 visa which is expiring but not expired yet?

Hi All,

Can we renew a B2 visa which is expiring in 6 months, but has not expired yet?

There are some circumstances which makes it convenient for us to renew the visa now, if the system allows it.

Applicant is out of USA.

Thanks.

I believe you can apply for a new B-2 before the current one expires, yes.

Going by comments made by a CO in London,it does not matter how much life is left on the existing B2,they just mark the old one "cancelled without prejudice" and issue the new one.However,that was a casual comment and not sure if it is official policy.

Thanks sevorg, After posting this question here, I have had a quick search on internet and there seems to be no limit.

Thanks
