CNW\/<\/strong>The U.S. Department of State has updated its visa\u00a0reciprocity schedules<\/em>\u00a0for citizens of\u00a0Dominica<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Antigua and Barbuda<\/a>, drastically shortening the validity and entry privileges of key work and dependent visas previously issued with long-term terms.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Under the updated schedule, several work, dependent, and visitor visa categories<\/strong> for both countries \u2014 including H\u20111B<\/strong>, H\u20111C<\/strong>, H\u20112R<\/strong>, H\u20113<\/strong>, H\u20114<\/strong> (work and dependent visas), as well as B\u20111, B\u20112, and B\u20111\/B\u20112<\/strong> (business and tourist visas) \u2014 will now generally be issued with just a three\u2011month validity period and a single entry into the United States<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, some of these visas could be issued with multi\u2011year validity, sometimes up to 10 years, allowing holders to enter the U.S. multiple times without reapplying. The new change significantly shortens both the length of the visa and the flexibility for multiple entries<\/p>
