Faster do! You read the website, can usually qualify for mail in renewal as you are a previous Visa holder. 48 months is the key

Just sharing my experience with you.
i applied last Nov. Got my passport back within a week of the interview.

Usually 2weeks if parcel delivery.

You can direct go to take and it between a week.

Alamak, sorry! I missed seeing the date and hadn't realised that you have already renewed your Visa.
That the thread reincarnated because someone asking you questions Oops

I am wondering whether I keyed in my name correctly as we need to follow our passport which doesn't split our name to surname and given name

In DSA:
Surname = Aaron
First Name = FNU

DSA Confirmation Page - Name Provided shows as: Aaron, FNU

In portal.ustraveldocs:
Last Name = Aaron
First Name = FNU

portal.ustraveldocs Confirmation Page shows as: FNU, Aaron

Am I entered the correct information? Fees paid are not refundable unfortunately, if the name is not inputted same as per DSA and passport.

Doesn't look correct, but just wait and see. You can't do anything anyway now.

It will be more difficult because he let his old visa expired and is now applying again. It will be easier if he had renewed the visa just before expiring.

Thanks. Haven't submitted yet, will confirm with Aramex tomorrow and update.

want to ask u guys, if my us b1/b2 visa is in my expired passport visa not yet expired(still got 4years approved in 2018) , but the old passport cover page broke already as in it came out, can i qualify for the visa renew interview waiver?

My name is in the traditional english style, first, middle and last (Eg Taylor Alison Swift). So M'sia passport is written as Taylor Alison Swift. But when I applied I wrote as Swift, Taylor Alison. There was a bit of consultation during the interview, but in the end I said I have a surname. So my visa is issued as Swift, Taylor Alison.

So they do know that some people have surnames, and some Malay names do not. This is my experience, but unfortunately I can't say what they will accept for your specific case.

You dont need a new visa, just bring along the old passport book containing the visa together with your current passport when you travel.

don't worry. on the final printed visa that is on your passport, you will have first name and last name. they actually split the name for you.

Just called Aramax and confirmed the below:

In DSA:
Surname = Aaron
Given Name = FNU

In portal.ustraveldocs:
Last Name = Aaron
First Name = FNU

For those who has experience dropping your passport to Aramex, do you need to print out anything (e.g. DS160, Visa photos) for submission together with your passport?

YOU MUST BRING the confirmation page and the following document(s) with you at all steps during the application process:
Passport; Recent Photograph; 50mm x 50mm (2 in. x 2 in.), full face against a white background

oh really? but my old passport cover page spoil already it like came out, now using rubber band to tie the passport

hard to visualize without actually looking at the passport but in general as long as the biometric page and the visa is intact it should be fine.

How long does it take to have our passport back after our visa renewal (no interview) is approved?

I may want to renew my visa which is due to expire in August and I am eligible for renewal without having to be interview again.

I would leave for Shanghai in 26 days and I wonder if I can get my passport back before then, if I submit my renewal application today?

Hi all, I intend to go to the US for a conference in Nov 24' but the result of the application for the conference will only be out in mid Aug.
I wonder usually how long does it take for the visa to be approved if we have supporting letter from the conference?

*fist time us visa applicant here.

Interview date just take like 1 week queue only after u have applied, just got my visa approved today

On an unrelated note, I was wondering if, in the event of a valid 10-year multiple entry/exit visa having been issued & attached to a Malaysian Passport, would the visa itself still be valid if the holder then renounces said Malaysian citizenship and acquired a different passport?
