B1/B2 Visa with Anotation

[Michelle Arasi 0]

Hi! My Dad was issued with a US Visa at Apia Embassy on May 2017. Visa Type is B1/B2 'R' which is valid for 6 months and also has 'M' or multiple entries however the annotation states 'TO ATTEND SISTER'S FUNERAL ON MAY 2017'. He wishes to attend his brother in law's funeral on the 29th of July using the same visa. Is he allowed to enter Hawaii regardless of the annotation? Please help

No, he cannot. The visa is clear.

I'm so sorry for your families loss.

 

I don't know the answer to your question but maybe answering my question helps your question. 

 

Is he still in the US and after going to his sisters funeral now wants to go to his brother in laws? If he is still in the US how much time did they give him to stay?

I remember that my grandfather had a B visa with annotation 'to attend godchildren baptism' and he used that visa multiple times years after the issuance not only for the event

He can try.  It should be sufficient for him to board the plane, but whether he is admitted into the United States will be -- as always -- a decision of the immigration officer at the Port of Entry.

Maybe take evidence of the new funeral he has to attend if he tries to get into the US.
