    Concerned over flight dates

    Thanks for reply, Yes I see what you're saying, it seems like common sense, and I will be travelling into USA during my stay, although I'm not sure they're too happy about people using US to keep 'topping up' Visa time. I suppose at the end of the day it's whoever the IO is when I go through...

My first grandchild is due to be born in October and all being well I'll be flying...
