Hi all. I have a question about one year non immigrant B mulitple entry visas.

I will be going to apply for one in Penange next month. This is my third or fourth one I have a work permit and have never had a problem before.

Now I am being told that they aren't granting 1 year visas (or are less likely to) and that I would be better off going for a 3 month visa.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it just in Penang?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
