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?

Schengen overview community wiki to avoid duplicates

UK visas overview community wiki to avoid duplicates

  • It would definitely be helpful and could be done as an answer to this very question :)

  • @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 :-)

    @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?

  • 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.
