My mother's visa is expiring soon. I am intending to take her to USA on a one month trip but I am fearful, her entry into USA when her visa is expiring that soon may cause problems?
Note that I have done that before, she last entered USA when her visa was expiring in about 20 days. She then got another 5 year multiple visa, but now that visa is expiring soon too.
My concern is, would it be ok for my mother to enter USA just 3 days before her visa expires. She will have a return ticket.
She can enter even on the day it expires. US visas are for entry requests only and it is not a problem to use them on their last date.
Just for the sake of completion, she can then stay in the US for as long as the CBP stamp/record allows. Even beyond the expiry date of her visa.
What the Visa Expiration Date Means
The visa expiration date is shown on the visa along with the visa issuance date. The time between visa issuance and expiration date is called your visa validity. The visa validity is the length of time you are permitted to travel to a port-of-entry in the United States.
