Can I Renew My US Visa Before It Expires?

Guys,

I currently hold a US Tourist Visa (B1) that is due to expire in MAY-2007. My passport expired and I got a new one. Now every time I go to the USA, I have to carry both passports and inmigration agents usually take longer to let me in when I cross by land to the US from Mexico.

I wanted to know if I can renew that Visa and get it stamped in my new passport. I don't wanna just transfer it because it's too much of a hassle to get it transfered if it is only going to last one more year.

Thanks for your replies,
Luis

Viasa we miss you!. Good times will return after Chavez is gone!

yes, I think.I renew my visa while having the old one.They just stamp it ''cancelled without prejudice'' and issue a new one.

Didn't you have a Student's VISA and switched to a Tourist one? That would be different I guess.

Luis, it would be wise to call the US Consulate.

Looks like it shouldn't be a problem then.

I would too, but they charge USD 24 for 15 minutes worth of operator time.

My point was, that you switched types, so basically they issued a new one Smile
