B Visa

Parents B-2 Visa

Question details

My company has agreed to bring me and my wife to USA on L2 visa and then later get a H1 B visa. I want to make sure my parents have a B2 visa before I leave India. I have thought of two possible approaches:
a) Get a B2 visa for my parents but telling US consulate that I am traveling on business to USA and want my parent to visit the country. I used the same method for my wife 2 years back with no problems.
b) Get a L2/H1B visa for my self and then submit a request saying my parents want to visit the country for some time.

I dont see much difference in the two (as long as we are truthful with the consulate). Option b may be slightly better because you would already have the L/H visa.

Mother's visa expires - reentry

Question details

My mother's 6 month stay expires next month and she wants to go back to her country and come back to US in 10 days. What kind of questions will they ask her at the airport?

A trip back after just 10 days is likely to be problematic. She can be declined entry because the govt. Can view this is an abuse of B visa in that she is staying in USA more than she is in her own home country.

B1/B2

Question details

I entered the US with my mom in 2005. I was underage then. My visa B1/B2/BCC expires in Oct of 2010 and my permit I-94 expired in December of 2007. I am now 20 years old and I am married to the love of my life and he is a US citizen. I want to know what I can do. What files and forms will I need?

You should be able to get your green card. Do not travel outside USA until you do. I would suggest getting a lawyer.

Visit visa and work

Question details

I have B1/B2 visitor visa and I am planning to visit USA. I also have job offer from one of the company in USA. They are asking me to come on visit visa and then they will apply for my work visa (H1) while staying in USA. Should I accept their offer and travel with my spouse and children?

This could be viewed as fraud by the government.
