Two active US Tourist Visas at the same time

Good day.

Yes, what a head-scratching, eyebrow-raising question. But here's the story: I am supposed to take like an exam in Guam, around, let's say, October, therefore I would need a US Tourist Visa for that. But then, a client requested me to accompany Him to mainland US, let's say Florida, at around November, for which I would need another tourist visa. For example, I get a tourist visa for Guam around August (pertaining to application and interview), then I'll get another one for mainland US around September (interview again), in which month my US tourist visa for Guam is still active and unused.

Is that possible? I understand visas for Guam and Hawaii are exclusive only for their respective countries, and visas for mainland US are a separate thing. Did I understand it correctly and is it a possible situation?

Thank you very much and have a blessed day.

Hawaii is not it's own country. Hawaii is one of the states of the United States and therefore would not require a separate visa other than the one you would obtain for the mainland. Guam on the other hand, is considered a U.S. territory. Either way, I have seen in various forms that will ask if your destination is the U.S. or the U.S. minor outlying islands. Therefore they appear to address them together as in either or. You should only need 1 visa for the U.S. and U.S. territories.

This is my opinion and not legal advice. Use of this information is strictly at your own risk.

Oh. Thank you very much. So that would mean when I apply for another one, the previous one would most likely be cancelled. Or I don't really need to apply a new one for the mainland as long as the one for the territory is still active. And yes, I've heard from some of my friends that when you're applying for a visa for a territory, they put like an addendum that your visa is sort of just valid for that territory, if I remember correctly.

Thank you very much for clarifying this!
