I have a US B1/B2 Dual VISA issued in Jul 2006 and slated to expire in Jul 2016. The passport on which it was stamped has since expired and I have new passport renewed. I have to travel to US in May to visit my sister for a week (This would be personal visit and falls under B2). Note that I have also not traveled to USA so far. I got the VISA originally to attend a conference back in 2006 but due to some conditions, the trip got cancelled after I got the VISA and I had no occasion to travel since then.
1. Would there be any problem if I don't renew my visa? i.e. Can I travel in May considering that my VISA is valid till July. Are there any rules that prevent travel a certain period before visa expires?
2. How soon before the VISA expires can I apply for VISA (Same class B1/B2 or B2 only) again? Should I do it now to be on safe side or is there a period defined?
3. Can I apply for a B1/B2 VISA renewal without help from company or do I need to apply for B2 only?
