Non-Immigrant Visa
All applicants are required to make
an appointment. Due to an April 1, 2002 change in regulations, applicants
will only be able to reenter the United States if they are found eligible
for a new visa and actually have the visa stamped in their passport. I-94
forms (even if valid), accompanied by previous expired visas, will no
longer be valid for the automatic re-entry of persons traveling from
Canada or Mexico if during their visit they applied for a new visa that
has not, in fact, been issued.
