1. Any time before the VISA expires.

FAQ

2. Why should i contact AB ?

2. Should i reproduce any proof to get recomendation letter?
No need, but depends on the respective person.
(In my case they didn't ask anything).

Hello,
Thanks for the information..
I would also be interested to get an answer for the question posted by Mathew...
I was planning for a short visit of my wife for 2-3 days in 1st week of june just to ensure her visa is not expired. We are waiting for the visa of our newly born daughter in India and its possible it may be delayed another few weeks till we get visa .
