Hi all,

I am a missionary in the Philippines and married to a Filipino local. We are working on him getting a tourist visa. We are not planning to go to the States until October, but I am wondering when is a good time to apply for his visa? Once a visa is issued, is there a required amount of time where he MUST go to the States? Or can he get a visa and then wait 6 months to go?

Also, once a visa is approved, how long does it take for him to receive the paper work for it?

Thanks in advance!

When you apply for the nonimmigrant (B1/B2) is entirely up to you. Once the visa is issued, there is no required time in which you must travel. So it does not matter how long you wait to travel after you have the visa.

If the visa is approved, the passport with the visa will be delivered by courier.
