B1 --> H1b

[azra123]

Hi,

I have my valid B1 Visa from my present company. Now I have applied for H1B through different company and have my visa interview this month. I just wanted to know these:

1] If My H1B gets approved now and i get my visa stamped, will my B1 visa expire or will i be able to travel on B1 as well?

2] If my H1B gets rejected, will my B1 visa be available for travel.

Please help me by giving ur comments.

Thanks

normally they dont cancel the visa so you can travel on either. The stats is determined at the port of entry. You tell them the urpose of your visit. and they stamp the passport accordingly.


A word of caution what status you are in is determined by what is stamped on the I-94 dont start working without departing and entering again with H1.
