  • What is an ok frequency of visits to USA, with B2 and H1B history?

    Readers, please advice.

    I have a B1/B2 visa, issued in June 2011 (for 10 years), i travelled to USA in Sep 2011 and stayed till June 2012 (this was an overstay, as i had filed for an H1B which got rejected (i have an old H1B issued a few years back), i left as soon as i received the rejection notice in June 2012).

    I re-visited USA in March 2013 on B1/B2 visa, and was asked questions at the entry about my previous prolonged stay. I furnished the declined H1B visa petition and the officer let me enter USA (with a 6 month stay till Aug 2013) with some questioning around whether i will file for the work visa again while in USA, and why did i stay so long last time etc.

    I stayed in the USA from March 2013 to April 2013, and left the USA in end of April 2013. Is it advisable that i travel immediately to USA? We are in August 2013. It has been 4 months that i have been back. Please advice.

    Thank you for reading.

    Regards,

    It depends on your purpose.

    *If you are going for a casual visit, they may ask questions again, why you are back after 3 months.
    I suggest you delay a casual visit by another month. Going in october will be just fine.

    If you have a concrete purpose like a business meeting for a few days, it could be fine even going now.
    Carry proof of that.

      Thank you, Peace999.

      It is a casual visit. So, i guess October end will be best. I would have completed 6 months in India by then. Perfect. Thank you so much. God Bless you.

      Cheers,
