Question

Just have received tourist visa for the next 3 months from American embassy, i was asking for two months. But , my first American visa tipe (B1/B2) year 2000 and the second one tipe (I) year 2001/2002 are CANSELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It is confuse for me, do not have any explanation about it.Can somebody tell me why is that?

Answer 1

You got a new B1/B2 visa, so any old ones you had were no longer valid.  "Cancelled Without Prejudice" simply means they cancelled the old ones, but not for any bad reason (such as you're a criminal, or you overstayed your last visa).

It's nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

Your math doesn't add up. You asked for a 2 month visa, you get a 3 month. You have expired, old visas which allowed a year of visit and they cancelled them.
