My prior visa was valid for ten (10) years;
My prior visa is still valid or has expired within the last 48 months;
I have in my possession my passport with my previous visa from the same visa category for which I now wish to apply;
My name, date of birth, and gender on my last visa are the same (If there is name change due to marriage or annulment, I can provide documentary proof); **
