ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is confused about the differing outcomes of visa applications for themselves and a friend. They state that their friend received a DTV visa while her METV was still valid, but the user was advised to wait until their METV expires before applying for the DTV visa. Comments suggest that typically, holding two valid visas simultaneously is not allowed, and there may be inconsistencies in how embassies apply visa regulations.
