We see quite a few questions on B1-B2 visas, would it be helpful to create a community wiki along the lines of the existing wikis for Schengen and the UK?

It would definitely be helpful and could be done as an answer to this very question :)– JonathanReez ModCommented Jul 22, 2019 at 7:17

@JonathanReez Ok, I will work on drafting an answer for input from the US experts amongst us (of which I am not one!). It may take me a wee while :-)– TravellerCommented Jul 22, 2019 at 18:10

Go ahead and then post the draft here so we can have a look at it.– JoErNanO ModCommented Jul 23, 2019 at 9:53

1@JonathanReez Ok, I’ve taken this as far as I can without input from others. From setting up the draft I’ve realised that there are less true duplicates on US visas than there are for Schengen/UK, so I’m not sure if the wiki will 100% fulfil its original objective. Having said that, I think it will still be useful as a point of reference. So, a couple of questions 1) How do I get the draft reviewed by users with expertise in US-related visas? 2) Should that review include checking that the answer is still current and updating where applicable? 3) If approved, how does the wiki get published?– TravellerCommented Aug 4, 2019 at 9:57

No review is needed as anyone can just go on the wiki and edit your answer - that's the beauty of StackExchange :) Just make it a community wiki to encourage that.– JonathanReez ModCommented Aug 4, 2019 at 15:44
