Pui's family would like her brother to come here for the wedding. We have not yet decided what date we will marry. How important is the intended date of arrival? Would he be able to enter before that date if he gets the visa? Would he be able to enter after that date if he gets the visa?

Another question just came up. Asking about relatives in the US. Currently Pui is still in Thailand and will be coming here on Thursday. They plan to send the paperwork before she leave to come here. Do they put her as being in the US or not?

Thanks everyone.

How important is the intended date of arrival?

- It depends on how long the visa will be granted. If he gets the B1/B2 for 10 years, that doesn't matter when he will go to the States but in some cases, the consular officer issues as long as the period applicants applied for.

Would he be able to enter before that date if he gets the visa?

- He can enter before the intended date of arrival that put in the application form as long as he has a valid visa in hand.

Would he be able to enter after that date if he gets the visa?

- Yes, as long as the visa is still valid.

Do they put her as being in the US or not?

- I would say yes, because at the day of interview Khun Pui will already be in the States.
