Annotation on B1/B2 visa

[immihelp]

Good day,

My husband is a seaman and as I regularly join him onboard the ship, which sometimes goes to US ports, requiring my joining or signing off the ship in the US, hence in January 2009 as per our company policy I had applied for a B1/B2 visa which was obtained on 14 Jan 2009. This is valid until 07 July 2013. However, in the Annotation column it is mentioned that "JOINING HUSBAND ONBOARD SHIP".

I have not travelled yet to US on the ship, but the possibility is there as our company ships trade over in the US also. Now, sometime in Sept 2010, my husband and me intend to travel to the US on a holiday and will I have any problems because of this annotation? My husband has a C1/D and also a B1/B2 visa without any annotation. My daughter is currently doing her post graduate studies in the US and we may visit her if possible. She started her course in Sept 2009. We are well settled in India having several immovable properties in our name any no intention of ever living in the US, except for leisure tourist travel.

Please advise as I am confused and cannot get any proper advise on this matter. Travel agents suggest that I should again apply for a B1/B2 visa. Is this necessary or is it legal?

Awaiting your advise.

Thanks & Best Regards

If you want to go to the US just for tourism, you need to apply for B1/B2 again.
