B Visa Overview

Hello Rajiv Ji,

-- My H1b Application to be made - April'2012
-- My & my wife's Current I-94 expires (B1/B2 Category) - 21st May'2012

Can i & my wife stay legally in the U.S. until the decision is made on my H1b application (if applied for change of status to H1b on my I-129 & applied I-539 for change of status to H4 for my wife).

Would it affect my future travel to u.s. if i stay until the decision is made, after my I-94 expires?

Thank You.

I have a visitor B visa 10 years with multiple enries. if i exit and re enter the US within a short duration say 15 days or so does it reflect poorly or is there a chance of being deported?

I recently abandoned the US for Canada. I had been living in the US illegally for 15 years (since the age of 11). I got an opportunity to conduct biological research at the University of Alberta, AB, Canada. I'm fully funded to live in Canada by the institution. Anyway, i would like to return to the US in 2013 for my 10 year high school reunion. I would like to know how likely I would be to get a tourist visa given my recent history. I have no intentions of staying in the US, just visiting. Am I automatically banned?

Hello-- my boyfriend is South African and currently lives there, but he has been offered one-year employment in the British Virgin Islands starting in February 2012 for which he must apply for a travsit visa to get into BVI and must vacate the island during hurricane season for the entire month of September. He wants to try to come visit me in Texas during that time, can he apply for a B2 visa that is good for one year and allows multiple entries so that he may travel to Texas both during his one-month vacation as well as re-entry into the US after his employment offer ends in February 2013?

My mom was granted the normal 6 month stay when she first arrived here in July 2011 and she will be leaving in Jan 2012. She plans to come back in June 2012. Will she be able to get another 6 months when she comes back then? Or does she need to stay longer in her country before she decides to come back again?

Dear Rajiv S. Khanna, I have the Dutch nationality, and my partner is a US citizen. During my last trip, the customs officer told me that I should get a visa, to make sure that I will not be denied entry. I am assuming she was referring to a B visa, is this correct? Furthermore, will such a visa indeed greatly reduce the risk of being denied entry? Is there another way I can prevent being refused at the border?
Thanks

I am currently on h1b visa and want to invite my sister to USA. Here are her few details:
- single and is 28 yrs old
-had come to USA in 2006 for a course in flying on f1 visa
-later she wanted to change the school, since we did not know that she could have used same f1 visa, she applied again for f1 visa and the consulate rejected her visa
- in 2009, she tried for visitor visa, i was sponsoring - again rejection. However, my parents got the visitor visa
I want her to visit me for a month, but not sure how much chance she has. Pls advise.
I really want to invite her.

Hello Mr. Rajiv,

Thanks.

Hi my question might be a bit tricky, or not?
I am from Peru, I had a B1/B2 visa granted in 1994, visited the us 1 time in 1995 (2 weeks), and the last time 1997 I ended up staying until 2005! I left becasue I saw no way of solving my immigration situation in the US, and had the opportunity to move to Australia.
I am now and Australian citizen and would love to visit friends and family in the US.
Do you think I could be denied entry as an Australian? Dont want to spend the money on a very expensive ticket if there is a chance I could be denied entry for a visit.
cheers

I have be given America visa and it is six months in Accra.i have spent almost five months and the visa will expire in January 25th,2012.can i go in December to spend the one month left

My employment using a H1B visa is ending on December 1, 2011. I want to change to a B1B2 visa and spend some time traveling around the US for a couple of months before I return to Australia. Would that be a problem? When applying for the B1B2 visa on-line, there is no opportunity to state that I am submitting my application from Houston Texas. Instead, I am having to say Sydney Australia. This is confusing. There must be plenty of people already in the US applying for a B1B2 visa, so how do they do that?

Parents arrived on B-2 visa, mother gave birth to a son, their visa already expired, their son became US Citizen. What is next for the parents? Can they stay with their son in US or they will be deported?

Hello. I am a US citizen - my partner is a citizen of the UK (we are not married). He is a consultant in the international development field so travels frequently, but often visits me in the US when he is not working. He has been to the US for visits of 2-3 weeks duration about 6 times in the last year. The past few times, immigration has hassled him about the number of visits he is making. We are concerned that one of these times he may be refused entry - is this likely? Also, how easy is it for UK citizens to get work permits in the US, if he wishes to stay for a longer time? Thanks!

Hi! I wanted to know what kind of visa I need to apply for in order to accompany my 74 year old grandmother to the U.S to visit family. She is a resident of the U.S.

My father was deported earlier this year back to New Zealand. He was convicted of a white collar felony and during his prison stay his green card expired. Will he ever be able to come back to visit? I am getting married next year and did not know if he will even be able to attend.

I am a UK resident and currently have a B1 visa with 7 years to run. When I enter the US via LAX they always stamp my passport and issue the i94 card for 12 months. We always leave before the date given. Question - do we have to go back to the UK (our country of origin) or could we go to Canada for a week and then re-enter the US?

regards

Michael

Hello and good evening, I have a valid B1/B2 visa that was given to me back in 2007 and is valid for 10 years. I used to work for an american company, and therefore I used to travel back and forth (last time I was there was in 2008) -
My question is, that I would like to spend some days visiting friends in NY en route to see some of my family in South America, do I need to apply for another visa or this one will cover my 4-5 day stay in the US?
I have a Venezuelan Passport, but I live in the UK, with an indefinite right to remain. I will be travelling to the States from London.
Thank you.

Mr. Rajiv Khanna! I wanna know how can I come back to US? I came US 2006 like a guest, stayed about 5 years & left US. But my family still there, ex-wife, two daughters older 20 year old & younger 17. When older gets 21 year old & if she apply for family reunification, especially for me, is it works for us to get my family (sorry if some mistakes on letter, maybe my English not very well). I'll wait for your answer, please reply me. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have a B1/B2 visa. I also can travel on a Visa Waiver program. Last time I went to the US, the immigration officer told me that I should use the Visa because the B1/B2 visas have medical expense coverage. Is this true? What would the coverage include? Would it include also expenses incurred by my children's birth in the US (my personal expenses are covered from another source)? Thanks.

I am a producer and my film has made it to an international film festival in the US. I want to know what kind of visa type should I apply for? The problem is I have spent the past 2 years working on the film and do not have a great employment record as such. My only trump card is a letter from the festival inviting me to the festival. Please suggest.

Does a visa carrier need to pay a US hospital bill in full before renewing her visa? will the visa be denied if she has'nt paid a daughters birth hospital bill in the US?

Hi, I became a US Citizen and I would like to petition for my mom and dad who live in their home country but 5 years ago they were here as visitors (visa B2)and overstayed, they both went back to their home country but my Dad tried to come back and he was retained at the airport and sent back to his country, his passport was stamp "excluded" now that I want to petition them the application I-130 asked if my relative has ever been excluded/deported. I was wondering if this would be an issue, will I be able to petition him? will it takes longer that usual because of this? Thanks a lot!
