Visitor Visa flying after 7- 8 months

[captain]

Hello

I am planning to send papers to my parents -in -laws.Is it possible
for them to take visa and fly after 7-8 months?

Though in i/w they will mention that they are going to fly immidiately after getting visa.

Thanks

Do not tell them to lie.

It is ok to fly after getting the visa, even if it is 7-8 months. For as long as the visa is valid they can use it.

Hi,
What will you do if your parents in law get only 6 months visa. No one can foresee the duration of the visa for a B1/B2 applicant. You will know only when you collect the passport.

In your pils' case, you have 2 options:
1. Just postpone their visa interview to another 6 months - in that case they need not lie about their travel dates.
or,
2. Just go ahead with the same interview date and let them give their travel date, say after 2 weeks from the date of interview - in that case they can console themselves that they are planning for visa and travel after 7 month, (provided they get visa for more than 6 months)
